Exercise

It is simple. The actor has no background information. No givens. No prewritten text. No environment (but the stage, maybe a chair and a table).

The actor must improvise with other actors. The actor must move. Speak. Above all, the actor must show their special pleasure.

Here is what the actor has to use
-fixed point
-major/minor
-complicité

The actor goes onto the stage. They can speak text, move, anything. The actor is in major, so the actor must speak in major. The other actor is minor. They are like a criminal waiting for their partner to give them the game. Once they have the game, they are in major and the other is in minor. Then they get to show their special pleasure.

It is simple. The actors have no story. They decide nothing. If they talk to much, it is blablla theatre. They must go onstage and reveal their special pleasure.

This is fucking impossible.
