Document Summary
An ethically suspect way of watching (voyeurism) A disorienting way of watching (where am i?) Performance pieces were regarded without regard for the audience. This was very experimental, for the first time, the audience was not acknowledged. In miss julie, we have part of a stove on stage, sticking out from a curtain thing. This is a little strange, in that time we are used to symmetry, but here it is at an angle. On the other side of the stage, we have a slice of a table. And upstage, we have a wall that is crooked. We don"t like that (bourgeoisie) doesn"t like crooked walls, they like unity, symmetry. In the back corner, we have part of a rounded arch door (we can only see about 2/3). We don"t even have sidewalls; the audience"s thought is thank god i didn"t pay too much for this, i don"t even get a proper set.
