IA Proposal
Out of all stories that were given to me by the author Danticat in her book " Krik Krak " the most authentic and intense was the story called "Night Women". The story that does not provide the reader with Multiple detail and observations, but a story that can make us think and make us compare different perspectievs. Whether as this story was presented to us in the dramatic form, I want to include some creativity and obstructive way of thinking, and what can help me with that is including comic characters that would devour the negativity and drama in the story.
I main goal is to maintain the plot and the theme of the story, however, I want to create a perfect example of rearranging the story by including little nuances that would give the story more characters and more creativity for the audience.
Performance that includes 4/3 characters, one can play 2 characters.
Scene 1: Starting the performance with mother sitting in the bed next to her son and watching him getting ready for bed she is having inner thoughts ( that she sais out loud, however, without her son hearing her). After her son gets in the bed quite scene transform into an energetic stage with music and various dancing moves and emotions. I which the audience will be able to understand/feel the emotions and the atmosphere of this specific scene.
Scene 2: She is sitting in her part of the room preparing for her client. She is sitting next to the mirror brushing her hair and (mumbling some melody from a previous song) at that moment I would like to introduce the two forms of mythical creatures " devel, and an angel that would speak to her and provide her with their thoughts and advises. Those two characters would bring a humorous way of looking at the story and the environment in the story, they would fight with each other ( verbally' maybe even use different languages') that would bring a different point of view to the audience in addition to the book.
Scene 3: The conflict between night women, angel, and devel relatable to the incoming client that knocked on the door. Night Women having difficulties towards making the decision whether she should let him in or should not, ( and in this situation, I have two opinions: whether the angel/devil is the one saying that she should let him in to get money or not so that she can have her independence).
Scene 4: Making the decision to not let him in, and now has to make decisions what is next for her and her son. She goes outside to think and decide what she has to for future life when her son comes down and tells her that he knows the truth about what she has been doing and that he wants to help her. Trough out the scene they are talking and acknowledging that there is a way to solve their issues and they decide to try and leave Haiti. The last and the final stage will mainly focus on truth, reality and mother/son connection.
In this performance, I want to show the maturity of both the characters mother and son. Mothe for making the right decision and being authentic and open to her son. Son for not being scared to come up to her and being strong for talking to his mother and trying to help her to find the solution to each and every obstacle that there are facing and will in future.
In my opinion, it's a good idea, and it is flexible for any adjustments in future. I want to create a different perspective and point of view towards this story, so that people can see that it's possible to turn negative in to positive.
