Stage Review: 'Therese Raquin' flows on pool stage
Post Gazette: "When I was little, we used to have a fish tank that I hated. Still, I felt compelled to watch the slimy creatures, swimming through their tiny world. Watching them watching me triggered a sort of existential crisis -- in charge, perhaps, of a world I didn't understand but with the nagging sensation of being watched. If them, I thought of the stupid fish, why not stupid me, as well?"

i love this design concept. i think its so interesting. i really like hat it completely objectifies the actors and makes them into "fish in a tank" it gives you an entire different perspective on acting and a play when you watch it from such a position of power. i find it really interesting and really refreshing at the same time. the design challenges of light and sound and even audience seating is offered and hopefully dealt with from what the article intimated. it opens lots of doors for the argument of where can art be performed and does it need a specific stage? i would classify this piece as site specific art as well as just a piece of theatre.
