Instructions for a scene
You are in prison. A guard will soon come, to take you away. An even worst fate is wating for you…you have heard – from a prison mate – that there is a key hidden in your cell; if you find it, you might have a chance to escape.
The scene starts when you realise you have two minutes before the guard comes; two minutes to change your future. Will you find the key? Will you be able to escape.
The scene is without words.
We are interested in your ability to embody the state of your character, in relation with the instructions. How you use your body and physicality to create the drama.
