nice alfonso, thanks for posting. did you ask any of them if you could be with them / follow their interactions for a day? as we said, would be great if you can capture them in ordinary situations; perhaps what would be compelling is take it further and do a "staged" ordinariness (if thats a word) There's an artist that works with re-approriating characters and re-setting them in a different condition: pierre huygue. check him out, may be of interest to you. I somehow imagine him / her in a very stark environment, where his body becomes fully theatrical out of context.
note to reiterate: don't shoot them by the chinese theatre, that won't work, the key is to place the characters 'elsewhere'evoking a sense of the absurd and perhaps a bit of melancholy (or any other emotional landscape)
