| Very messy, clothes all over the place at the start — too many people in too small a space. Then the guards clean things up, and we see the Apple-like branding start to take over. Maybe there is an Apple shaped sofa platform unit that starts out in sectional pieces, and then gradually comes together.

| Guards set up a “contact module.” The contact module is supposed to revolve in order for the camera to be able to focus on different parts of the room. Since we’re designing for a traveling production, it is likely to be difficult to get the contact module to revolve (if we can find a way to do this fine, but another option is to have 2-3 modules, pointing in different directions. The modules need to light up, to show that they are activated. An important part of the contact module design should be to create the effect of an “eye” watching over everything.

| Between Act I and II, two months have passed, and the playwright suggests that the room is transformed into “a sleek residence with gleaming surfaces, chrome, steal and glass. She also suggests that the furniture is ”largely of the convertible kind (bed-com-sofa, etc), in keeping with the restricted space“ (p. 34).

| Madrid apartment “works like a Swiss Army knife”

Following its novel renovation of Madrid apartment Didomestic, architecture firm Elii took on a similarly quirky makeover of another flat in Spain’s capital. Susaloon features flexible folding furniture installed throughout in a bid to maximize available space.
Completed in 2014, Susaloon draws its name from its owner Susana, and comprises a total floorspace of 23.5 sq m (252 sq ft), which is split between a kitchen, hall, bathroom, storage room, lounge, drawing room, and bedroom.
The apartment is likened to a Swiss Army knife by the architects due to its flexibility, and features folding furniture and small hidden storage nooks. This enables the owner to keep the floorspace empty for when she holds parties or practices yoga. The fold-down furniture includes a bed, storage space, dining table, an ironing board, and even an acupuncture table. A small work area is also hidden from view when not in use, and a sliding wall can be moved to partition off a room.
The home joins several other utilitarian Madrid apartment makeovers we’ve covered lately, including the Pop-Up House and All I Own House. For a better idea of how the folding furniture works and the home’s layout, check out the video below by architectural photographer Miguel de Guzmán.

| Furthermore, the contact-module allows Padmanabhan to establish a structure of gazing and surveillance that mirrors the role of the audience. For, like the receiver, the audience too, gazes at the only physical bodies on stage: the donors. The audience is thus impelled into an uncomfortable identification with the receiver, the very entity who is responsible for the objectification of third-world bodies that the play so overtly criticises.

| Ma’s VideoCouch: Ma’s “entombment” (her video couch) is described in the script as “reminiscent of Tutankhamen’s sarcophagus” — p. 76), but in our production it will be an Apple inspired casket (see pictures). The coffin could be made to stand both vertically and horizontally with one side with the Apple Logo and the other side with App icons (think casket iPhone).
