Beaten Up
by Debra Bruch
(This mime is in two parts. The first part should be
near the beginning of the program. The second part should be near the
end.)
Beaten Up #1
7 People
- Person #1
- Three who beat him up
- Person who passes by
- Two who hurry off
Person #1 enters and strolls. Three others enter, laugh
at him, point at him. "Look at him! He's different!" Person
#1 stops, and looks at himself. "Huh?" The three others attack
him and beat him up. The three leave. Person #1 is on the floor. Another
person enters, sees him and hurries off. Two others enters and looks
at him. "Don't make eye contact! He's just a street person."
They hurry off. Person #1 gets up and walks off.
Beaten Up #2
by Debra Bruch
8 People Needed
- Person #1
- Three who beat him up
- Person who passes by
- Two who hurry off
- Another person
Person #1 enters and strolls. Three others enter, laugh
at him, point at him. "Look at him! He's different!" Person
#1 stops, and looks at himself. "Huh?" The three others attack
him and beat him up. The three leave. Person #1 is on the floor. Another
person enters, sees him and hurries off. Two others enters and looks
at him. "Don't make eye contact! He's just a street person."
They hurry off.
One of the original three people enter and see the person
on the floor. He spits at him. Then another person enters and beats
him up. That person leaves. Soon, Person #1 stands and crosses to the
beaten person. The beaten person cringes as if Person #1 will hit him.
Instead, Person #1 looks at his hurt and holds him.
