Ideal Citizen, Alexander McQueen, Maria Teresa De Filippis, Speaker Voice

The Ideal Citizen repeats everything said by the speakers, slowly melting like a fragile fake. Alexander and Maria begin by repeating some things, before beginning to disagree and stake their claim as to who they are.

3 people stand on boxes. The sound of a powering on system plays as all 3 raise their heads. All 3 have large fake smiles. A voice begins to speak from a recording.

Voice: I am happy with my place in the world

All: I am happy with my place in the world

Voice: I will not deviate

All: I will not deviate

Voice: I will take a job normal for my gender

Ideal Citizen: I will take a job no- (gets cut off)

Maria: No I won’t. I am Maria Teresa De Filippis and I want to be a professional driver

As Maria and Alex begin to defy the words, Ideal Citizen begins melting, revealing how fake he is

Voice: I will marry the opposite sex

Alex: I will not marry the opposite sex. I am proud of who I am, no matter how much hate I see

Voice: I will not express myself

Ideal Citizen: I will no- (interrupted again)

Maria & Alex: We will express ourselves. We will stand against expectations

Voice: I will take a normal job

Alex: (Sternly) I am Alexander McQueen. I want to be a fashion designer and so I will be so.

Voice: (Louder) I WILL OBEY

Ideal Citizen is now fully melted on the floor

Alex and Maria: We.... Will.. NOT

Possible mention of Elvis Presley/musicians corrupting the youth and the women. On word routine pulls his hands up and the others raise as if they have been pulled up by strings. Move forwards as person 1 moves their hands forwards, etc.) Topics which the 3 people talk about: -Woman= serve on the front lines, Vietnam, Korea (Only able to in 2016) -Men= work as midwife, helping women who need it (Only able to in 1984) -Teens= didn't do very well in 11 plus exam and forced to attend technical school so couldn’t do what they wanted to do (11 plus abolished in 1976)

All four of us stood in line, heads down. Screen flashes on with activation sound as heads raise up. Voice starts speaking as people repeat. E.g. "I am happy with my place in the world. I will not deviate" then one of us breaks saying the opposite e.g. "I will *not* take a regular job normal for my gender. Starts moving around really animated while others stay in line. Keeps talking as others get louder, making it hard to hear them. Eventually breaks the screen and others break free.

"It's strange isn't it. You see me come home from spending time with friends and then I stop acting. But that's more than somebody performing on a stage. That's what we all do isn't it? You get up in the morning and you start performing as *your* character. You smile or put on a straight face. It says a lot about my skill when everybody's just as good at acting; at playing pretend. Everybody's scared of everybody hurting them. So we truely know nobody." *Snaps back into character when doorbell rings* Food's here!

# data[].attributes.body
Walks home, closes door and throws coat across the room and sighs happily. Shouts out "honey I'm home". Voice from off stage says "I'm in the shower" or whatever; excuses offstage voice. Starts talking about hanging out with mates, really animated and essentially extroverted. Says "I'll get a start on dinner then", joke about ordering chinese instead. Big 4th wall break, ended by doorbell ringing as food arrives.
