Mines & coffe to go

Some hints about how to prepare a performance about landmines. I was wandering arround, thinking if we should do some cardboard boxes, simulating the landmines where we would put inside the injuries paper for our performance, when I thought of an old problem that really makes me angry in this "use it and throw it" society where we live. This is the bakers and "coffee to go" shops, where you always get your buns and muffins, without asking if you are just about to eat them, wrapped up in paperbags and your coffee in one go cans covered with plastic taps, again without asking if you are about to drink it. So I thought, they could just have this final use in our performance. We the doubble aim of make us aware how many of this rubish we see in the street and to be used as the mines itselfs. But remember, use just the already used covers, cause there is no need to waste more than they are already wasted. Besides, we want to be friendly with the enviroment.

And about how to do the action, you could put many of this covers on the floor, take one person with its eyes covered and let him wander arround till it treats one of the "mines". Then with a bomb sound that you can obtain pressing a key on your preprogrammed computer, and some split of water, you could let this people know what would be its injure for the rest of the performance. Maybe that can be done in some Improtheater performance, before the show starts.
