I wanted to work with a comedy topic and started seeing an air balloon expedition. I recalled the tragic Andrée Polar Expedition from 1897 that was lost in the Arctic for 33 years and realised that this was a magnificent topic for comedy. As Woody Allen put it ”Comedy is tragedy plus time”. This was my third research into developing Artistic Collaborative Tools. This time the work group of 4 writer/actors had to work with documentary material.
