Finding our story III


We spent the last days (29-31 Jan) coming up with a concept for the story. As major guidelines we decided that this is a totally fictional plot, presented as a collage of small stories that undergo one same theme.

Brief story outline:
  1. Overall subject matter is the Near Death Experience (NDE)
  2. This is linked with the theme of FIRE (and this might be balanced with WATER)
  3. Overall "idea" is MAN FACES HIS MORTALITY
  4. Main character is a FIREMAN. He will suffocate in a FIRE
  5. Second character is a YOUNG WOMAN. She will drown in WATER.
  6. Important SPIRITUAL/MYSTICAL aspect eg Voodoo, Shamanism, Kalevala. Might take place in an exotic warm location eg. Haiti/Cuba
  7. The role of the audience will be bringing one of them back to life.
