If the location of the show is a school hall (Amish School for Paradise Lost and Beslan school for Paradise Found)could the design of set and props be 150% larger than original so that the audience see things the way a child would? Has anyone been back to their primary school as an adult and been amazed at how low the ceilings look compared to memory? The Beslan school had a basketball court in the school hall. Could the starting point for the set be two 150% larger basketball hoops (the hostage takers hung the explosives from them)? If these could be constructed as stable structures we could sling zip-lines between them to hang things on or use as a death-slide (I can source a pulley to ride on).
Just a thought...

Ever believed in something so much it was worth dying for? If you could create paradise would you be willing to sacrifice those who stood in your way? If you had power over the future, what world would you create? Paradise Found looks at belief systems and convictions and imagines what world we could create if we had the power of a God – or all the resources of humanity.

Fun yet creepy... I like it! It then makes it all seem very surreal too and more "alienated"
seems a good idea about the school gym, do like it, would make us also feel wierd to be on set... also could we have a big fake window at the front of stage, in frontt of the audience, to make it look as if they are looking in on and oversized room and world.... does that make sense???
wow michael that sounds fantastic... i love it. also been looking into some constructivist practitioners that dan asked me to and looks interesting. didnt understand the concept before but can def see it now. will start collating ideas together and hopefully present some mood boards in a few weeks xx
