In my bachelor paper, I concluded that we could draw parallels between the play Corridor, which imitates the form of reality show, and the Zoo; both are putting individuals on display and are using constraint of spectacle. Individuals in play are presented according to their most noticeable characteristics. The narrative place is chosen in a way that it manipulates with participants. Only in the corridor, they are 'themselves', although they are questioning absence of cameras in corridor. In the play, the organizers of the game manipulate the participants of the reality show, and both manipulate the viewers, which are not included in the play. The corridor can show us this manipulation because it is a fiction and not a 'true' reality show.
