Coming out from the single dimension of performance and participate in the material creation of the play helps on the acting level. Working in the shops undeniably creates between the actor and the fictional world played in a intimacy and familiarization that can’t be catch up later by any means. My character, Maria, has a book that follows her all along the play. This book is full all pamphlets, letters and old papers she collected through out her life and deliberately stick in this it. I (Aurelia as much as Maria) arranged my book so when I play with it on stage it is way easier to appropriate the object. In addition, I painted purple the piece of the stage you can’t see and doors that none are used in the traditional way. I was working in the scene shop the first day the stage was put together. The bits and pieces I was painting not long ago pilled up in the corner in the time of a morning became the stage of the arc room, where so much have happened since…
