| Description |
The show opened by highlighting the routine events that humans exist within in their everyday lives. Using an office setting as the bland terrain, the loss of individuality is shown through the way a person dons a mask to face the outside world with indifference. This defence mechanism puts up a barrier to others, and lets one fade into the crowd. One of the few props used is a metronome, which is set with a ticking noise so to show the passing of time in this dreary existence. |
