Lobby Display Analysis
My lobby display will highlight the key aspects of The Second Wave Feminist Movement in the United States and its significance to our production of A Doll’s House, the different furniture that will be seen on stage, and as well as items that symbolizes different aspects of the play.
I will create an informational poster that will inform the audiences the different events that occurred during the 1960s – 1970s Feminist Movement in the United States.
Visually, I will present the poster in an old wooden frame, much like the ones we will include in the production set. This way, the poster not only will inform the reader about the events of the Second Wave Feminism, but as well as provide the atmosphere of A Doll’s House before proceeding to watch the production. …show more content…
Below the frame(s) I will have a piano, much like the ones you will find in a typical middle-class home.
On top of the Piano I will have a bird’s cage (relevant to Torvald always calling Nora his “song bird”) and within it will have a doll’s house. I will be sure to emphasize that the cage is locked to symbolize Nora’s feeling of being trapped within her home. The doll’s house within a cage can also be found as the front cover of the book version of the play.
As the audiences examine the lobby display, I will have the Tarantella musical score play in the background through an old record player that will sit on a side table beside the piano. The musical score will accompany the display in fully immersing the audience within the world of our production visually and auditorily. The tempo of the Tarantella will symbolize the plot of A Doll’s House. It will begin slow, but will eventually spiral out of control; similar to the events of the
play.
Finally, in the display, I will include a plate of macarons on the side table beside the record player. Attached to the plate, I will include a small description of the sugar content of the pastry. Those unfamiliar with A Doll’s House will become curious of the significance of the pastry in the production. Macaroons was one of the many secrets Nora hides from her husband. The macaroon not only symbolizes the status of the Helmer family (macaroons are fairly expensive), but also Torvald’s control of Nora. By demanding Nora not to eat macaroons, he is controlling her appearance; he does not want Nora to have rotten teeth or to gain weight.
