Unusual request
Hello there,
I have something unusual to ask of you guys.
As a hobby i am acting in an Amateur-Theater in the summer (Open Air Theater).
This year i was lucky enough to get the main role.
The play is set in the 1800s and about an old Man (72 Years old) (i myself am being 37 years old) which gets a visit from Death itself to bring him to the afterlife. The old Man than convinces Death to start drinking with him. Death isnt used to alcohol and gets absolutly hammerd. Then the old Man gets out some playing cards and plays with Death to extend his life for another 18 years.
Thats the gist of the story. Its an old tale/story here in Bavaria.
Now you guys come into play.
As i said we are a Amateur-Theater and playing an old Man double my age is something that brings me to the edge of my acting skills.
The problem is to be as convincing as possible towards the audience.
My idea to make it a better performence is to bring my body to get very sore and aching (throught workout) so that for example standing up or sitting down is paired with "pain" in my muscles. Moving fast is also something in need to avoid. The soreness will act as a reminder while acting to be slower and walking crouched.
The good thing for this scenario is that i am not trained at all.
What i need from you guys is tips what kind of workout will "fuck me up" the most. What will give me the most soreness and "pain"
What makes standing up a "challenge" what brings me to crouch my back down while walking because standing straight hurts.
I dont want to damage my body i just want as much soreness as possible as a reminder to be old.
Thanks i advance :)
