In the text, the author explains in detail what he aims to do with the audiovisual tools and the effect he wants to achieve. What we have to do is to understand where and how to place all those elements and how to execute the audiovisual content. The scenography is intended to form a part of the whole audiovisual atmosphere: the main element, the cube, can be transformed into a giant screen where we will project videos and images.

 

"There are numerous television monitors in the entrance hall, showing Sky News and Spanish television channels without sound. At a given signal the pianist will stop playing and all TV sets will switch to local station GBC, with one of the regular presenters reading out a (prerecorded) breaking news item about an armed robbery in Gibraltar and police carrying out searches around the town area to hunt down three unidentified suspects."


"Strategically placed CCTV cameras will capture every movement, every moment, the general ambience, the frame of mind, animated conversations and atmosphere of expectation in the foyer among the public.  Hidden CCTV cameras have also been placed inside the auditorium itself to film everything that happens." 


"Everything that has happened in the theatre building since the doors opened, has been filmed and is played back for the audience to see, in a kind of mirror effect. The perspective has shifted dramatically and the spectators who have been ‘watching’ what has been happening for almost an hour, now realise that they are also watched, and as much a centre of attraction, as the actors and action of the play. This continues for several minutes while the public shows signs of becoming more and more uncomfortable."
