In this performance, we were asked to act the character in the book who we analyzed. I chose Lili, and a lot of people chose the characters from The Wall of Rising Fire. However, our partner is the character from different story. Therefore, the performance is to show the interaction of these characters.
My partner is Helen, and her role is the unknown girl who loves the boy in Children of the Sea. My character and her character have a big age gap, which means the communication between us is limited in some ways, so we were stuck in the plot. How they meet is difficult. The casual meeting, which you just force them to meet in the script without any reason, is kind of boring and not convincing. Afterall, it is impossible to have a long conversation between two strangers meeting each other in a random walk. Therefore, in the end we decided to start with the girl running away to say goodbye to the boy at night. She runs so fast that she runs into Lili by accident. Lili worries about her safety, so she tries to convince her to go back home. However, it causes the girl miss the boat where boy is on.
The girl still loves the boy, and Lili is as kind as always. Besides that, I do not think the performance can reveal many possibilities of interactions between them but meet in accident, or Lili takes care the girl when the girl's father die by accidents. The reason is that generations do not interact so often because they are living in different time line. Look at others' performances, I think they can have interations, such as Guy and night woman who is Lili.
