The Bit:
From 1 a long train of luggage attached in a line twenty pieces long and rolling, glides in toward 2. It is powered by an actor crawling on their hands and knees inside a large steamer trunk in the front of the train. The train makes a gentle circle around the perimeter of the diorama of the camp and stops up center.
A Citizen:
(Actor appears on the mezzanine in a spot light. He is dressed in khakis, a white shirt, and black jacket. He is also wearing a fedora)
While the MP’s wait
You fill my suit case
And spill your tears.
How Heavy its weight.

The group of actors in the middle of the stage holding the flag rearranges them selves: The dancer nearest to the end of the pole takes it from the rest of the group and lays it on the stage slowly along the 2/4 axis, the dancers in the center work to bundle the ground cloth and model up into their hands. The original flag bearer wraps his cover cloth around him achieving a more middle eastern style and then as the others move off to 1, carrying the ground cloth and model while the flag bearer take up the flag finally and bears it across his shoulders like a water carrier and exits out 1.
