what?

It's a recording of a rehearsal of theatre play. In this scene someone is getting shot with a revolver. This person is in a wheelchair (the main character), the shooter is not. This scene is about terrorist attacks. This scene asks if it is okay to shoot someone, who is terrorizing a town. Will you ever stop the evil? Is it ever okay to kill for a higher cause?

In this scene the effect doesn't work, and the blood doesn't flow so someone runs up and trys to understand what the issue, and gets the blood to flow.

how?

This effect is done by the VFX person. Filmed in The National Theatre in Oslo.

why?

Nina found it interesting that in theatre things are not recorded. You only use your memory and are part of a once in a lifetime experience.

choices?

We were trying out how this scene would take place on stage, it was the first time we were trying it on stage with this actor.

what came before?

We had a trial with stage management department.

what will follow?

We don't know if this play will ever be realized and finished, because it was cancelled due to Covid.

3 questions from the question generator

What are its limits?

It was done during covid, and now they are renovating the theatre. Money is also a limit, as it is a big show.

How does it change?

If we start a new version, it will be different because theatre is always a reflection of the time in which it is made.

What would you change?

I want to see this play be made, so I would change the fact that we would have to stop. It talks about power and money, it is provocative in that way, so I want to see this. The tickets are expensive so people without the funds couldn't go, and therefore 'rich' people go to see a play that criticizes them.
