The Characters

---

30 years old. Male. Dresses In suits/sport-jackets and always wears a tie until late in the play.

Female. 40. Half European-American, half Mayan Guatamaltecan. Wears her long dark hair in a single braid and dresses Indigino (Mayan Guatemaltecan). New York accent- Queens/Brooklyn

 Femme d'une certaine age.  Dresses in striking black & white costumes and changes appearance frequently, but always in black and white. Perhaps her hair is white or a long black wig, and perhaps there are a few white accents to set off the black. She has an odd tic, physical and verbal which should be subtly unnerving. Wierd in a strange, digital way, as if she might be an AI. Her actual identity remains ambiguous throughout. See this Max Headroom video for an example of another digitally strange character: hashttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYdpOjletnc. 

NOTE- there is possible issue of cultural appropriation here. One-Death and Seven Death are characters in the Popul Vuh, a book of Mayan mythology. I prefer not to address that for now.
