Performance overview

Our group performance will start with a scene about schools in North Korean Forced Labor camps. The first scene will be a Self Criticism Assembly, Self Criticism Assembly's are a norm in North Korea where the children get nominated to stand on a podium and talk of all the wrong they have done and how they can improve themselves. During this scene the audience will be sat with us and included in the class room, the guards will command them and at the end of the scene we will start to criticise the audience eg, "i saw you drink your daughters water when you knew she was dying of dehydration". The scene will quickly evolve to us reporting back our homework of learning facts about North Korea, One child will get a fact wrong and be sent to the sweat box.
 The next scene is the sweat box scene where one prisoner is inside a box and we are all standing up with the audience making a sound scape to represent the mind frame of the prisoner whilst in the sweat box. One by one we stop saying our word and start to hit our chest to represent her heart which slowly dies out and the now dead prisoner gets dragged to the middle of the room.
 Scene 3 will be a morning/ digging scene where the other prisoners are burying the dead child, we will have island baby lullaby playing and Saffron will read some lines from the 1984 speech to create a morning atmosphere in the room. This then leads to us placing our shovels against the wall and laying on the floor going to sleep, here Katie and Shenneil will read part of another speech we have found. Once the speech finishes they lay down and the guards will wake us all up and usher the audience out of the room at the start of a new day. The entire piece represents a day in the life of a prisoner.
