2 ideas for video
a couple ways of suggesting exodus:
a collage of disembodied hands and arms waving (goodbye, or for help?), arranged like a starburst and maybe mutating kind of kaliedescopic-like into other arrangements.
underwater shot: feet walking thru water that is dark, lit with rays of light, passing by the camera.

love seat image from Jeff
SCENE
A full size loveseat outfitted with a set of wings that together spans about 15 - 20 feet. . The flying love seat is on a wheeled scaffolding structure that supports it about 8-10 feet off the ground. The winged loveseat is connected to the scaffolding on pivot that allows it to move from side to side. The wings themselves will be strong enough to support weight and can be used as performance spaces. Diagonally across from the flying loveseat is a structure that is a cross between an air traffic control tower and a bird cage. On the top of this tower are varius odd instruments that are a cross between radar and gardening tools.The structure is supported on a scaffolding structure at about 10 feet from the ground. There are blinking lights attached through out the structure.
There are two performers seated in the flying loveseat, a pilot and copilot. The lighting is focused to appear as they are being lit from an instrument panel. In the control tower bird cage there is one performer (the air traffic controller). Throughout the scene the air traffic controller is climbing in around and on top of the structure adjusting varius things and looking around the space with a strange binocular periscope device.(binocuscope) Lighting on the control tower is similar to the flying love seat accept every so often intense lights come up as if from an approaching airplane.
The scene begins with the winged loveseat moving slowly in stage right from back of space.I envision the pilot and Co pilot having a Harold Pinteresque conversation about esoteric and unrelated subjects like cooking, gardening,vacations ailments ect. Their diologue is interspersed with coordinates, numbers letter words like south north ect with occasional cryptic messages from the air traffic controller.
The conversation between the pilot and Co pilot remains at an even tone, professional with no emotion.
The air traffic controllers physical behavior increases in intensity it becomes erratic and frenetic however his words remain even and without emotion in contrast to his movements. I see projections of a blue sky with clouds moving to give a sense of speed and velocity, Sound is a wind instrument like recorder or flute. As the conversation progresses there are more and more coordinates and less full sentences. The air traffic controller movements are very tense and animated at this point building to a crescendo. He then stops all movement and focuses on one point looking through his binocuscope The word release is spoken by the copilot lights become bright then quick fade out on winged loveseat and control tower. Troughs containing hundreds of leaflets with printed words installed above the audience and other high points in the space are opened dropping leaflets throughout the space Fog machine Lights come up to revealing the falling leaflets that at first should appear as early morning snow. Singing is heard from the back of the space. Three lights that seem like headlights appear from where the singing is coming from. As the lights and singing approach the audiance see 3 vehicals that are a cross between a flying carpets and a pirogue. There is a performer on each one . They pole themselves through the space as if assessing the damage. Two of the performers pick up leaflets and read the words as the third one (Kathy) continues to sing. I have no clear idea of what is written on the leaflets but the reading should appear random but should actually be fixed and predetermined. The performers pole their way trough or around the audience andmove behind them and out of the space.
