DIRECTOR’S NOTES

You don’t want a harsh outcry here

not to violate the beauty yet

dawn unveiling ochre village

but to show coercion

within that beauty, endurance required

Begin with girl

pulling hand over hand on chain

only sound drag and creak

in time it becomes monotonous

then must begin sense of unease produced by monotony

repetitive motion, repetitive sound

resistance, irritation

increasing for the viewers

sense of what are they here for, anyway

dislike of the whole thing how boring to watch

(they aren’t used to duration

this was a test)

Keep that dislike that boredom as a value

also as risk

so when bucket finally tinks at rim

they breathe a sigh, not so much relief

as finally grasping

what all this was for

dissolve as she dips from bucket
