EXIT MUSIC - Orchestra ACT ONE About 10 minutes prior to curtain time, CLAUDE comes on stage, looks around, and then sits down in the center. At the same time, the TRIBE appears from the wings, in the tower, on the scaffoldings, and in the Audience. THEY carry flowers and burning incense sticks, which THEY hand out to the members of the Audience. About four minutes later, TWO GIRLS come on stage with an "altar" cloth, and a burning flame in some kind of earthenware receptacle on a stand. THEY set this up in front of CLAUDE. A strange kind of eleqtronic sound starts in the orchestra (ad lib sounds from percussion and lead guitar) and it builds and intensifies over the next five minutes. Bird calls are employed here by the TRIBE. At the same time the TRIBE in a ritualistic kind of slow motion starts con­ verging on stage, each person concerned with something -- an article of clothing, a part of their body, anything personal to each. BERGER and SHEILA approach CLAUDE, and BERGER, with a pair of scissors, cuts a lock of CLAUDE'S hair. At this, the TRIBE freezes in mid-action. BERGER hands the cut hair to SHEILA who puts it into the flame. The TRIBE utters an earthy sound together and unfreezes, resuming slow-motion movement. RONNY picks up the flame and starts to sing. 1-2 I 1 I AQUARIUS RONNY WHEN THE MOON IS IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE AND JUPITER ALIGNS WITH MARS THEN PEACE WILL GUIDE THE PLANETS AND LOVE WILL· STEER THE STARS RONNY & 6 MORE THIS IS THE DAWNING OF THE AGE OF AQUARIUS THE AGE OF AQUARIUS (4 more join in) AQUARIUS AQUARIUS MEN HARMONY AND UNDERSTANDING WOMEN SYMPATHY AND TRUST ABOUNDING MEN NO MORE FALSEHOOD OR DERISION WOMEN GOLDEN LIVING DREAMS OF VISIONS MEN MYSTIC CRYSTAL REVELATION ALL AND THE MIND'S TRUE LIBERATION AQUARIUS AQUARIUS RONNY WHEN THE MOON IS IN THE SEVENTH HOUSE AND JUPITER ALIGNS WITH MARS THEN PEACE WILL GUIDE THE PLANETS ALL AND LOVE WILL STEER THE STARS THIS IS THE DAWNING OF THE AGE OF AQUARIUS THE AGE OF AQUARIUS AQUARIUS AQUARIUS 1966, 1967, 1968 Galt MacDermot, James Rado, Gerome Ragni, Nat Shapiro and United Artists Music Co., Inc. 1-3 ALL (Cont'd) AQUARIUS AQUARIUS AQUARIUS (Music out) BERGER Transcendental meditation on the ocean of reality is love ••• TRIBE Love ...
