Armenia

 Postcard is a waterfall. Very nice, but totally overshadowing the one that's on stage.

Everything is white or off-white. Rosa's outfit, the microphone, and the postits. So many postits. The bed, the sofa, the bedside lamp, everywhere.

But she tears them off. Not one-by-one, just pulling them in bunches to reveal some words ("the last one", "june 22" etc.). And in the last chorus she makes a massive round hole in the wall to appear in the other side, facing the audience. This could be great with audience - going from intimate to huge.


... And yet it took them only about two minutes to put everything back where it was for the second runthrough. Singing is just fine and this is all quite effective, I can see why they put it on last.

For everyone going to the arena, you're just going to see a wall for 2:30 minutes, so that would be a good time to go to the bar.
