Costume and look of the artist- Simulacrum

In my production Gothic clothing and makeup (Mise En Scene) will be utilized upon the sole protagonist, due to the notion of simulacrum being applied to this production. This would be due to the main protagonist being a copy of the Principle singer/ song writer Trent Reznor.

This idea of simulacrum is an important element of my production due to the notion of enticing my core primary audience (Existing younger NIN fans, male, aged 15-25). The simulacrum will be achieved by slightly emulating Reznor's stage persona with items such as black skinny jeans in addition to black leather boots/ jacket. Simulacra is an integral component of Baudrillard's theory of 'signifiers' and how in this post modern view, nothing we can produce or see is original in any way.

Simulacrum will also be used in the behaviour of the protagonist in the semi-narrative production.
Examples of this will be seen in the protagonist's depressive behaviour in the grimy cell of the darkened fort.
