Belfort, our lodgings, the CCN

Constructing the sketch set *

* for the real set, the 'forest' will be fleshed out such that the entire stage will hold a dense realistic thicket of trees, earth, rocks, fallen branches, leaves, etc., intersected by a small manmade trail, and the front of the stage will be covered with a transparent screen to give the feeling that one is watching a theater piece occurring inside a large diorama.

The supervisors: Gisele Vienne (director), Stephen O'Malley (score), Shiro Takatani (holograms & special effects), and, not pictured, DC (texts and dramaturgy)

The performers: Margret Sara Gudjonsdottir, Jonathan Capdevielle, Jonathan Schatz
Margret plays an aspiring Olympics gymnast who realizes over the course of the piece that she's not talented enough and has wasted her life. Jonathan Capdevielle plays Margret's trainer. He's obsessed with her and has just raped her in the forest before the piece begins. Jonathan Schatz plays the member of a famous rock band who just murdered his girlfriend and has ventured into the forest hoping to disappear.
