Minimalistic. 3 The chair symbolizes a weapon, shield, safe haven, support, prison bars, shackles and a Burdon. 4 Lighting: Overhead lighting is used to highlight the interrogation and a diagonal shaft of light is used within the piece to represent a window/freedom. Footlights create shadows. Dark, dim lighting is used to create a prison atmosphere. 5 Props: Wooden chair, canes, cigarette and red nose. 6 Costume: Everyday clothing is used for the prisoner (jeans and t-shirt) and uniforms are used for the guards. All wear black jazz shoes. 7 Interrogators always exit stage right (suggesting a door?) 8 Choreographic style: Episodic and dramatic Themes and Stimuli 1 The novel ‘A Man’ by Oriana Fallaci 2 The work of Amnesty International 3 The experience of Chilean poet Victor Jara 4 Saying goodbye to something (career as a dancer) 5 Human rights 6 Prisoner of conscience 7 Torture and interrogation of a prisoner
