☄️Apocalypse

Setup and Launch

Split the team into two groups: the first plays the first half, the second plays the second half.

Take one suggestion from the audience for the whole show.

In the original, every performer wore half black, half a bright solid colour.

Flow

The genre is apocalyptic fiction, with tropes borrowed from other fiction about invented worlds. The show has two halves.

1. First half — Evente

The first group plays an Evente — a long form built around a single event. Here the opening scene culminates in the end of the world:

• a meteor strikes the Earth;
• aliens invade;
• zombies overrun everyone;
• any other end of the world.

The half ends with a slow fade. In the original, the theme from the film Suspiria played at that moment.

2. Second half — Monoscene

There is no intermission: the second half starts right after the fade. It is a Monoscene — one continuous scene in one location, in real time. The action takes place some time after the events of the first half. For example:

• a post-apocalyptic world;
• a dystopia.

In the original, the second half faded out to Under the Rainbow.
