Oodles of Noodles

Is a new piece that I am writing. It involves a homeless man, and a sidewalk psychologist I think. The man eventually turns into noodles after being able to only afford a cup'o noodles to eat and nothing else. He is starving, but obese therefore, nobody believes that he is legitimately hungry. I can't decide if he turns into wet or dry noodles. If he turns into dry noodles, then he couldn't walk or his body would crumble and wet noodles would just end up in a heap on the ground.

Hmmm...

I'm not sure that this could even be done onstage.

Maybe it has to be a film.

NEW PLAY

I have been brewing this idea as of late for a new play. I feel like, at this point, "play" may be the wrong word to encapsulate my body of work. I also dislike the term "performance art" because there are too many disqualifiers in my work to make it fit the definition of what a performance art piece is or should be.

The bottom line is that I need answers and I think that they can only come from experimentation.

Can I make water in a shower get hot enough to melt a block of Velveeta cheese without the water being so hot that it would scald the skin?

Such is my dilemma.
