Room - dark
20 performers
20 music stands + score sheets
20 caving lamps (or other lamps that can be worn on the head)
20 red torches
20 green torches
conductor/metronome
bell/horn
scoresheet consists of a square grid 20x20
Each performer has a number corresponding to a line of the score, this
line is their starting point
Where the score indicates green, green torch is flashed on and off (or
for a variation - "on" on the first green, off on the second
and so on)
Where the score indicates red, red torch is flashed on and off (or for
a variation - "on" on the first red, off on the second and so
on)
Where the score indicates white - nod head (or shake, tilt - to be decide
beforehand)
Where nothing is indicated - do nothing!
Each performer begins with their own line and works through the score
until all lines are done (or for a specified time - e.g. the length of
time it take the #1 vaporetto to go from Piazzale Roma to Santa Maria
Elisabetta)
How the score is generated
All the vaporetto stops on the Grande Canal are listed
Where the letters LGISRD C and Z
(Left, Links, Guache, Izquierda, Sinistra, Right, Rechts, Droite (à),
Derecha, Destra, Centre, Zentrum, Centre, Centro, Centro)[English, German,
French, Spanish, Italian]- [more languages ca be used]
appear in the names of the stops they are marked with either red for LGIS,
green for R and D, or a white circle for C and Z
These coloured marks correspond with a certain position on a grid (20x20)
e..g. PiazzaleRoma (spaces are omitted) has a green at position 2 and
7, and a red at position 9 (I,L,R)
Piazzale Roma is the 1st stop on the Canale Grande and therefore is line
1 of the score - so, squares 1, 7 and 9 on line 1 are coloured accordingly.
The process is repeated until the grid is complete
