Goal: To create an experience of trust and betrayal through:
 
 
a) forming a relationship of trust through individual interaction with audience members as well as giving them a choice to join "the party" and take "wings" to become a part of the performance.
 

Here are your wings; become a bird and dance with us!

b) creating betrayal through entrappment and the confiscation and destruction of thier "wings" as well as the personification of Liberty that lead them to the "party".

Give us your wings!

Realizing the blood is on our hands...regret, mourning, and a vigil to heal

c) creating an environment of regret and reflection by inviting audience to take part in a candlelight vigil over the destruction.
