Character Walk

In this game at least 3 players take part. The first player goes onto the stage as a particular character (figure). This character tells something about themselves. After a certain time a second player enters the stage - within the same, uninterrupted scene. They play another character. Both characters interact with each other; finally the first one (with reason) leaves the stage. Now the second character is alone on the stage and tells something about themselves. Here too, after a certain time, another character, the third, comes onto the stage. Interaction, solo, etc. here too. This sequence can continue for a few rounds, that is, each actor then plays several characters.

This alone is already suitable as a game. But it can also be the starting game for a long form, in that the audience is asked, after the end of the game, which of the seen characters they want to experience as the protagonist of the long form that follows.

Other version:
Each player gets a profession and a characteristic that they have. Then players A and B first play their scene; once that's done, B and C take over... and so on, so that each character appears twice. At the end the round closes with player A playing with the second player of the last scene.
Since there are precise prompts, only the location, content and scene goal still have to be defined, or the relationship of the two characters has to be brought to the fore.

Tips and notes

One may, if appropriate, switch with regard to the place or the time, e.g. when a character, in their introduction solo, talks about their past, and then the new character enters the stage as part of a corresponding flashback.
