What happens before a performance begins, backstage the actors are nervous, getting into their costumes and looking gravely at themselves in a mirror. Someone is getting their props ready, the backstage hand is running chaotically, some putting their makeup on, and the director walking around with subtle anxiety.There are these processes and so many others that take place before a theatrical performance begins. But, what about the audience? What? are they preparing for? What is the state of mind that they have come? with? We worry about them, and so we have created this experiment. for the audience.
"THIRD BELL" is an ode to the audiences coming to watch our plays. This performance explores the conversations and the happenings of the audience before the "THIRD BELL" for the performance rings. Varied and sometimes silly conversations and sometimes mundane conversations capture our imagination with this performance. We are watching you before you watch us perform. That has led to these hilarious depictions in this experiment - the audience is always interesting, and "THIRD BELL" is the proof of it.
