Stimuli to get a play

Description: We’ve been working on our stimuli for our PPP, this week i had to search about: symphony 25 of Mozart, and all week through we’ve been talking about this and how can we get the plot and the vision of a play with just this song.

Analysis:  For this symphony, we first had to look what the symphony was made of, and what does it had. We realized that the instrument played were repetitive, like a mirror. So we came up with the idea of the mirror, after 2 classes of looking at the song, we came up with this idea. And now that we had the idea of “mirror” we had to look for a story, you can either invent the plot or use a book (a story), that connected to the idea of mirrors. I decided to invent a story, and as a game we split the two sides of the stage, and then playing with still pictures, both sides tells a story in a different way, I was thinking of the theme “abortion” and the plot will be arguing about this. The plot would be with a family and a girl that is pregnant, (this appears on both sides), then the girl starts telling her parents that she has been raped (both girls in the stage talks at the same time) and then when they start deciding whether to abort or not, one part of the stage freezes allowing the other one to talk and then this one freezes and allows the other opinion. This will teach the audience a different perspective and different opinions about this controversy theme, and this will also allow them accept new ways of thinking.

Connections: I really want this play to TEACH the audience something, to leave the theatre with something more in their heads and to keep them thinking and to keep them analyzing about this theme, like in “Sin titulo, tecnica mixta”, that taught me things that I didn’t know about Peru even though I am Peruvian and that made me think about this problem. I want the same effect on the audience that will see this play.

Reflection, question: What I don’t know is how , for example, Sin titulo, tecnica mixta, did this, how did he made the audience go very deep and then keep them thinking about the theme they acted, how did they get to teach the audience something and how did they get to really get them into the play?
