Here's what the directors (and dramaturg) have discussed and plan to use as the main message/point/question of the production:
Is 'Paradise' really paradise? Can paradise only be found through disobedience/sin?
- this deals with the associated themes of opposites (men/women, angels/demons, darkness/light, etc...) and consequences (sin/redemption, etc...)
- it also touches on the idea that Satan's 'triumph' in tempting mankind is actually part of the overall plan; that knowing the difference between good and evil and recognizing imperfection is necessary to understanding/creating paradise.
