The cast walk past and across each other's paths in no particular order. When the student reads or recites his/her line s/he comes up front, slows, stops, raises head, says line and recedes into background joining the rest of the group. EXAMPLE: (for 7 students) 1. We got used to standing in line at 7 o'clock in the morning, at 12 noon and again at 7 o'clock in the evening. 2. We stood in a long row with plates in our hands in which they put a little warmed-up water with a salty or a coffee flavor. 3. Or else they gave us a few potatoes. 4. We got used to sleeping without beds, to saluting every uniform. 5. We got used to undeserved slaps, blows and executions. 6. We got accustomed to seeing ditches full of corpses, to seeing the sick amidst the dirt and filth and to seeing the helpless doctors. 7. We got used from time to time, seeing one thousand unhappy souls coming here and that, from time to time, another thousand unhappy souls would go away ... From the prose of 15-year-old Petr Fischl (born September 9, 1929), who perished in Auschwitz in 1944 |
