The Betrayal

Abstract

Video on screen. This video represents Welsey’s fears. (The first production had Wesley on his bunk tossing and turning, having a nightmare.) It is shot as if from three different surveillance cameras mounted near the ceilings in three locations in the Centre: in the workshop, at the downstage end of the corridor looking upstage, and one aimed directly at the upstage set of doors. (For the first production the video director also created a shot as if from inside the air vent with the boys shown crawling through it and out a metal grate.) In the first shot we see a large room – the workshop. In dim light we see worktables and woodworking tools at one end, automotive parts in another area near an overhead vehicle door. There is welding gear in another corner.
