Sina Act 2 Scene 2 Summary
S E T T I N G:
It is set in (2016) modern-day. Most scenes are in the “McDillard Mental Facility”, a mental hospital that isn’t real. Inside is only, mainly white. White walls, white clothes, white faces, and white lies. There are many rooms that address issues from rehab to X-ray scans.
The Lux is another term for the mental institution for Sina. The Aliovorsum is another term for the outside world/ elsewhere. The Umbra is essentially death, but Sina doesn’t know that. The Umbra is a somewhat safe-haven from the Lux and a place that brings all happiness.
C H A R A C T E R S:
SINA/61381016: The main character who is a female patient in a mental hospital. She is introverted, simple, and thoughtful, in her own way. She has a blank expression most of the time, because she is …show more content…
(SINA shrugs again as she stares at the paper with eighty-one boxes.)
Scene Three
SINA is being walked back to her room by GREY MAN ONE and GREY MAN TWO. She is off in her own thoughts again.
VOICE OVER: I don’t get it. What’s the point of doing those little boxes? White Lady dismissed me when she saw she couldn’t get me to touch it. She called the Grey Men, the ones who always take me places. I don’t get why, the Lux is a quiet, safe place. It’s easy to get around. Except when someone tries to go to the Aliovorsum. The ‘Aliovorsum’ is Latin for ‘elsewhere.’ Out there is where you are in danger, don’t go there. There is one place I want to go to. The Umbra. It means ‘shadow’ in Latin. This is where the mind can be at ease and be hidden. No blinding, no using, just free.
GREY MAN TWO: (Opens bedroom door.) Please go in, ma’am.
(SINA walks in and stares at her bed as they lock and close her door. She turns to look back at her door. She looks as if she saw something. As if something was calling her. She stays there, waiting.)
