Our performance refers to Nazi Germany. The two actors stand opposite eachother and one holds up his hand, symbolising a Nazi salute and saying “Heil Hitler”, the other character looks extremely uncomfortable with doing this. The character who is refusing to raise his hand could range from the man’s son, to anything else such as a soldier alongside his commander. The man holding the salute gives the other man a look, manipulating him to raise his hand.

Symbols used: Nazi salute. Manipulative looks.

The symbols used are political and were influential back in Nazi Germany, the point we tried to put across is how easy it was to fall under the Nazi spell by being manipulated by someone who you respect.
