In our sien I played the gods, but as the human kind of god. I played a Fortune teller who is the Agwe Asaka and Erzulie at the same time, in this character the only thing that he wish was lead Desere to a good life and married Denial. At the same time I also played Papa gue the god of death, what he want was control the fate and keep Desere away form Denial with all cost, just like what he did in the book when he tried to take Denial’s life, the only thing that he want is stop the other gods and took Denial’s life. He is the guard and Andrea, Denial’s fiance, who tried to stop Desere enter the city and try to black mail her to kill Denial and betray her at last.
Although in the book the gods did not really care about what happened in the earth and Papa gue just doing his job, but still rest of those three gods did not wish to let Desere end in death. In our performance we show that point with more clear and extreme idea which just make the gods help and stop her personally. We set our performance in to the morden time which did not change much form the book, but we also change a lot of things which like Denial did not really get into a car accident and Desere thinks that Denial love her was just her hallucination. But those will make the end more reasonable when Denial finally choose Andrea instead of Desere just because he was not really care about that relationship with her but just playing around. So at the end he choose to send guard after Desere to make her leave the city. We also change Andrea’s character in to more dangerous and evil which shows that she was papa gue himself, so she black mailed Desere and leave her no choose, when Desere has to kill Denial no matter she did it or not then end must be an tragedy.
In out costome and stage we did not plan a lot because of the resources limit, we only did black out a few times and we did a little bit of costome change for the fortune teller because as a normal person who live in the morden time they do not dress in fancy clothes very often. Although we did some costome change for Desere because we use a shoes which is fancy enough could please the people in the city. The stage did not change much, mostly we use a desk and chairs would be enough for all our will, and most our set expect the guard part were all in-door. So when we need to change we just use black out and that will be all the things that we need. We had the set about the light change before but because the resources limit we could not do did in our performance.
