Whats torn about?
Destructive families and how families an destroy themselves, secrets withing families, neglect, the ignoring of abuse.
What statements does torn make?
- Families who are not honest and don't face up to the truth destroy themselves.
- pride trumps familial care
Turned into questions:
- Why do families destroy themselves?
- Why is pride such a strong force?
- Why is pride so destructive?
- Why is pride a priority over familial care?
- why are we emotionless?
The questions are devised to provoke the audience to question their own lives. This is where gestus comes in.
Gestus equals the fundamental truth all humanity.
What is gestus?
A stylised gesture that shows the attitude with in/movement that draws out understanding
Why is our piece political?
Because it is saying that men abuse and use their power and status to crush families.
People who are abused that have stories are not believed even by their closest family members so they believe there's no point talking about it.
It has aspects of class and ethnicity.
Where doe the male need to control and punish come from?
Men can be monstrous and women can be nurturing
Our scenes questions?
Are you empathetic?How does lack of communication effect you?
The most comfortable people should be the ones working the most to help people who are not as comfortable.
We are asking the audience: Why are you not making the world a better place?
