The play is seen by the company as a cry against the violence we are exposed and the current fear in our lives. This fear was increased with the fateful 09/11 and other terrorist acts around the world. After that, more than ever, those events were exposed by the media, emphasizing that feeling of insecurity and fear, sometimes, blocking the space for reflection about all those acts and attitudes.

In this staging, such as in Cardiff, we focused on re-readings, which gave us the opportunity to bring the author’s imaginary to dialog with our contemporary questions, finding his texts incredibly current.

In the audiovisual versions of Companhia Triptal’s plays Bound East for Cardiff and In the Zone, we did not want simply to film the acting performance. The camera participation in In the Zone, takes part closer to the spectator view point . In the same way as in Cardiff, there was a search for its own language and away from simply a video recorded play. This camera reveals distorted images and closed angle shots, showing the confined atmosphere that the characters lived.
