Oral presentation text (partial)

Hello everyone I want to talk about our IB course work, the adaptation of my love my love. We choose our play from a non popular part from the book, which not every one can guess what our characters are. We are the butterflies, who watch for Desiree's life, from the beginning to the end when she died, and brought all of her desire. Our lines are all around desiree's stories. So we decided to separate the play into two different staging. We originally planned that we design the plot as butterflies, talking about the story of Ti Moune through the whole play. We have the  first one is about staging about narration. Then when we have to exactly show the story, we act it out, and try to show them with you. 

From the play as you can see, the style of the play is mostly funny , from the beginning part to the middle part, but the funny atmosphere ended in the middle of the play. We separate the whole performance basically into three scenes. First one is when Desiree was still a pure girl from the small village on the island, her smooth life has been changed until one day, she eventually met Daniel. The second scene is  when Desiree met Daniel again, she fell in love with him deeply, so we had a dancing scene which show how romantic it is. Then the last scene about how and why Desiree got threw out of Daniel's house. This is the sad part, which is the also the end of the story. The audiences, and especially I hope you can feel, and take their steps on Desiree's journey, and understand her life. Different people have different perspectives, so they may have different ways to understand Desiree. Some of them think Desiree is the representative for desire brings people down into darkness, and her name is just a sign. Some people think she is just a pure girl, went a road that does not belong to herself. Just like in the book, "The fish trying to swim on the land". This is kind of the way that we want to show our audiences. Desiree is just a pure girl, but with a strong heart to chase her dreams, and a tragic life for her. 

In the performance, I guess the most outstanding detail was both of us, the actors wore a pair of butterfly wings. This is the way how we show the separation of the different part of our scenes, the "butterflies' talkshow" and the reality. As you can see, there are uncountable times of black out and the scenes changing happened. So this is the way to tell the audiences when and who we were, in different scenes. Some times I was still the butterfly who witness besides, but the girl was in the reality acting Desiree. There are differences between the color of the wings and our customs between each other. I am in all black, from customs to the wings. This represents that I am always the same - never changed , represents the insistence of Desiree's characteristics.  this was also mentioned in the scripts too.But my partner is different. She has a pair of white butterfly wings, and several different customs - kind of hard for her to change them through all the time. She has so many different kinds of styles, not only because the requirement of the play, but she represents the changing part of Desiree's characteristics.
