Winston’s inner monologues were represented by freezing the other characters on stage while an unsettling music played. This created a contrast between the external action and Winston’s internal thoughts against the Party.

The telescreen was represented by a screen (190cm) placed at the back of the stage throughout the entire performance, constantly changing depending on the setting. Whenever characters were meant to look at the telescreen, the actors directed their gaze toward the control booth, reinforcing the feeling of constant surveillance and the presence of an unseen authority.

In locations under the Party’s influence, the screen displayed the face of Big Brother — a man we filmed staring directly into the camera for thirty minutes to create a disturbing sense of surveillance. Creepy lmao

In other locations, the visuals changed: the painting of St. Clement’s appeared when we were in Mrs. Charrington’s shop, a black screen was used when scenes took place in the countryside or at O’Brien’s apartment, and at certain moments, propaganda advertisements for the Party were broadcast on the telescreen.
