I think it was Richard Schechner who wrote about Transformative vs. Transportive theatre. (Ie, Transportive, we bring you now to a castle in Denmark-- transformative being when the LIving Theatre encouraged people to start Paradise Now)
I think you have the rare opportunity At the end of this play, two of your actors will be literally transformed -- from 2 into 1. They change states, in a semi-irrevocable process. Yet (from my experience) not much actually changes. Just everything.
I'm looking forward to coming to one of the shows, but am not sure when yet. Probably Sunday at 4:45.
And I think I already know what Berit says... "Fuck them!"
