Scene One:
The Chorus: Nine NuN Nurses
1. Exterior tracking shot from above
night with some moonlight,
stone street, stone buildings,
nine nuns are walking
two abreast, led by one
in a fancy hat
with obtuse angles
2. Camera comes down to their level, as if shot from a doorway
Across the passageway. Still, some movement.
through archways
down passageways
until they come to
the big wooden door.
:Sound
The nuns 'sing'
The whole time.
A Latin chant
From the writing
Of St. Augustine.
INTER FAECES ET URINMAN NASCIMUR" (1)
IN................................TER
FAE................................CES ET
U..............R...I........N......MAN
NA.............SCI.................MUR"
The rustle of their habits
The only other sound.
3. Static shot:
The Mother Superior
Opens the door, crosses
The threshold, holds the
Door for the others.
Once all safely inside,
The door closes with
Big wooden drump! :Sound
& the hard clack
of a falling latch.
Black out.
Scene Two: (all interior shots)
4. Shot from inside, an establishing shot, panning erratically
until we've seen
All that is
Is in this round room
Operating theatre cum sanctuary, ¾'s round or full round. Chorus in three rows of three.
On one 'side'. Psychoanalysts couch/examination table/operating table with stirrups is Centre Stage, angle discreetly to the right. A birthing chair, and a toilet which is on the right. There is also a toilet on the left. Modesty screens are optional. The Latin: " Inter faeces et urinam nascimur" correctly attributed to St. Augustine should be stenciled, painted or embroidered; but it be writ large on one screen, with the English Translation "We are born between faeces and urine" with the attribution on the other.
Tapestries pennants, or banners
All major words from the four letter work book should be transferred to white linen tapestries or banners. For this scene the words SHIT CUNT PISS and FUCK should be hung out to dry (like bedsheets?). If the modesty screens are not used the Latin quotation and English translation should be hung up as a banner or projected as background.
PERFORMERS: Eight nuns and a Mother
Superior. Eva, Eva, & Ada.
GrandMother, Mother & babe.
:Sound
Chorus :
"INTER FAECES ET URINMAN NASCIMUR"
IN................................TER
FAE................................CES ET
U..............R...I........N......MAN
NA.............SCI.................MUR"
1. Eight Nuns and the Mother
Superior are in the bloody "theatre"
but remain standing, are still
the Chorus.
2. The camera starts to sway, pans back and forth across the theatre, in wider and
wider arcs until it's clear the room is at least ¾ round and the voyeur viewer
has seen it all.
3. Shot pulls back, steadies, from Eva's point of view.
4. Eva sees her mother Eva on the toilet nearby. The old grey-haired hag, the thick flesh coloured stockings around her ankles, holds her billowy black skirt up to keep it off the floor and out of the toilet.
Eva taking a mighty piss, :Sound
5. The nuns keep chanting in background Eva starts her chant sotto voice :Sound
pissypussy pissypussy pissypussy pissypussy pissypussy
pissypussy pissypissy PISSYPUSSY PISSYPUSSY PISSYPUSSY
PISSYPUSSY PISSYPUSSY PISSYPUSSY PISSYPUSSY PISSYPUSSY
PUSSYPISSY PISSYPUSSY PUSSYPISSY PISSYPUSSY PUSSYPISSY
6. Cut to Eva grasping a heavy dark real rope which has been knotted for better grip by women giving birth. Eva is pregnant and in labour. The camera had been panning randomly because the previous shots were from Eva's point of view and she has been twisting with the rope .
7. Switch to shot of Eva, taking a piss on the toilet.
PISSYPUSSY PISSYPUSSY PISSYPUSSY PISSYPUSSY PISSYPUSSY ╢4 REPEATS
8. Cut to Eva putting her feet in the stirrups, back of the bed is raised. She is wearing
just the white undercloak of the nun's habit. She is sweaty, biting on a bit of rope.
IH UH SHIT IH UUH SHIT IH UH SHIT IH UHH SHIT UH SHIT! :Sound ╢ 4 REPEATS
The ih is under pissy, uh is under pussy, the shit is over the silent beat between pissypussy's.
