Pondering

Rehearsal started yesterday and I have to say I'm not quite sure exactly what And Then We Changed the Screenplay is going to be like. It's all still so vague and cryptic. All I know is, 6 characters, 4 dialogues, 2 versions, a movie theater, an auto queue and the only thing visible will be the back of my head which is a shame since the front is much more appealing.

Two of the other cast members were sick yesterday, making it difficult and very confusing to make out who's who as certain people had numerous roles and we already have 8 each depending on the version of the dialogue. Still with me? We weren't in the theater but in a gallery in Ghent which due to it being a white gaping void didn't feel as comfortable as a dark and plush movie theater. We were all sitting in a circle facing each other, something that's just not done on the opening night as the whole point of the performance will be us talking to a big screen. This artsy version of Big Brother also contains a mystery guest, namely the audience who are supposed to fill in the blanks quite literally. I wonder if it'll work.

Anyway, it's all still a work in progress. Although the dialogue is a bit confusing at times, the characters are fun ranging hysterical mistress to mysterious nocturnal guide and they're both mine, hallelujah. I wonder if we'll be able to pull it off.
