Approaching the Script

What people say about me and what I say about myself?

Father- You dare not name me. The fear freezes the word on your tongue.

Mau- You feel strange, will I see you again.

Daphne- Horrible thing like death, I'm going to fight Locaha, why is death so blind.

Ataba- Locaha makes him into a dolphin.

Pilu- Dangerous.

Marisgala- Locaha we challenge you, send the girl down to fight Locaha, only the strongest and bravest women return from the land of Locaha.

Raiders- I promise you flesh, I bring death here, worship me well and you will live forever, he has seen Locaha we cannot fight him.

Cox- she how she calls you to die, not their painted God.                                                                                                                                                        
Who am I?
I am Locaha, the embodiment of death. I am from the underworld known as 'The Land of Locaha' were people go when they die. The islanders fear me and believe anyone who has seen me is invincible. Cox and the raiders sees me as their God. My ultimate goal is to convince Mau to leave the mortal world and come with me.

What is the present situation?
I originally take over Mau's father and use him to taunt Mau and get close to him. I try and convince him that after all the disaster the wave has caused it is better to join the so many dead then stay with the few living. I then take Daphne in the water and try and drown her, again to show Mau how many people he has witnessed die and it would be better to join them. I then come to Mau when he drowns in the water, believing that he is dead and that he is mine. Then when Mau and Daphne journey to the underworld, I try to convince Daphne to leave Mau and that they cannot hide from me forever. In the final scene it is my final attempt to convince Mau to journey to paradise now that he is a hero.

Where am I?
I am a figure based on the island as one of their Gods. I journey to and from the underworld, coming to the land of the living to tempt people to come with me.

Costume
I wore a long black maxi skirt, a black top with black eye make-up and henna style tattoos on my face. This gave both a dark and gothic theme and a tribal element to my costume.
