We've started to discuss about a theme, each of us thought about a story to give a mood for this Live Reptile Tent. My proposal was about a biotechnology laboratory in Finland experimenting on DNA mutants to create a race of sub-human slaves. Themes by fellow students included “…Science fiction murder mystery, using multiple spaces and twisted narrative structure. Surprising visuals involving audience, having all mobile phones ringing simultaneously. And featuring the Armpit Band…” (as in the summary by Teijo).
This is an issue to debate further. Will it be a guided tour or the audience wonders around at their own will? The space itself could change dramatically…
We didn’t decide on any of these proposals though, and next week we’ll keep exploring different kinds of narratives and stories. So far we agreed only that it would have something to do with a carnival. Well, that’s quite funny, since “Inside the Live Reptile Tent” is actually the title of a book by Jeff Brouws and Bruce Caron, featuring photos of American carnivals…
