Track of the Theatre show

Ciao everybody,

This is the first track of the theatre show that we are preparing.
All the presidents-citizens can contribute with ideas or just comments


The show begins with a great explosion, in another time and in another place a tremendous catastrophe has just happened, we don´t know what has happened, the protagonists will discover it later on. Seven survivors are on the run, in front of them just destruction, they are looking for a shelter for the night and to evaluate the situation. They reach a museum and in one hall they find Kappaland, they seat around the sculpture and take a breathe. We see them; four men and three women, later on we will meet an eighth character Markus, guardian of the museum, he´s 72 year old, but we won´t step into this character for the moment and we already have the actor for this role. We get back to the group of seven and these are: Tom, biologist, 65 year old. Jacob, 19 year-old a young student. Irene, nurse, 45 year-old. Then we will have two women and three men, these characters are still to be invented, for the moment just Tom and Jacob talk, Irene not yet but she will, everyone will be talking. Now Tom see one paper, explaining the sculpture and asks to Jacob " Look what´s written on that paper!" ( he would have done it by himself, but the glasses got smashed the morning of the disaster). Now Jacob was his assistent, this to explain the essential role of each character and to relate to the concept of humankind, where everyone knows how to do one think well enough that everybody needs everyone, and this creates the common well being. Jacob exclaims " Wow, it´s a conceptual sculpture" then he starts:"if you are reading this you have just approched Kappaland emerged from the asphalt after an idea, it is possible to purchase one square millimeter of this sculpture and to become president of nothing. Conceptually this work represents the planet, our planet is the nucleus around which we, like electrons, are turning. Everywhere we are we are presidents, but just for the size of our feet and for the duration of our lives. Basically to possess what is sustaining us has no sense, to love it yes, this is what serious people do, being able to get back to their innocent childhood and don´t take Kappaland and his visionary project seriously. So no time-wasters, time here doesn´t exist, here nothing exists, but we are almost there, for this reason is not possible to buy more than one square millimeter, one it´s enough to partecipate in the game, we will play to save the world, like superheroes." That´s the way many years before the artist explained the sculpture when he installed it at Tacheles in Berlin, and he had the idea to sell it by square millimeters to people coming from all over the world, after have spread the concept well enough, he continued the sale via internet with a group involved in the project. That´s was successful, because in a short time more than ten milions people bought one square millimeter and then they continued the visionary project, this sculpture became famous, for this reason it was in that museum, for this reason, being separated from the ground it was saved from the contamination and it was ready to contaminate with life all the rest. At this point someone asks about the visionary project and what pushed at that time so many people to buy one square millimeter, pratically nothing, maybe here Markus shows up, he used to go to that place which wasn´t really convenient to a 9 year old child, as the well-thinking people used to say, but Markus knew a lot about what had happened at Tacheles, and now this was important....
