For the installation we have always foreseen that it will feature actor(s) to ensure the story is fleshed out. Our initial ideas, drawing inspiration from The Drowned Man production, featured more of a performance element. As the project went on we realised that this sort of performance was a) not all that suited to our narrative and b) probably too difficult to achieve. Due to this realisation we started to move towards the idea of the actor becoming more of a guide for the audience enabling the audience to understand their role within the story, to answer any query the audience may have but ultimately to let them go about the space in their own way.

We found that this evolution was particularly evident during the campaign as our focus was on creating content such as posters. When we returned our focus to the installation we realised that implementing it would be incredibly challenging. This fact led to the aspect being pushed to the side, which was incredibly detrimental. When we finally returned to planning it in greater depth we struggled to find actors to help out. Luckily, Liana is willing to help us out and sadly people will be subjected to my terrible acting when I take on the other role. Our roles in the installation will consist of setting the scene, reinforcing the story world and to guide the audience through the space and hopefully this gives the installation a hint of immersive theatre to it.
