Performance art idea (edit: example clips)

Looking for some feedback on this idea I had last night. I am trying to flesh it out, and see if there is potential.
I am thinking about writing a play/performance piece. I have many 1-2 min long intense/cathartic song pieces that actually stand on their own pretty well with just guitar and vocals. I was thinking the performance as a whole would encompass like 5-7 "Acts" with each "Act" being one of those songs. With like 2 minutes of downtime between the songs. The whole thing would pander well I think to this American society of "quick hits" and short attention spans.
I am thinking about building a setting for each song (hence the 2 minute downtime between each "Act" to change the setting). Different lighting for each. I would treat the performance as art show, not a rock show. So keep that in mind.
Anyways, i know there are a lot of artsy fartsy people here (hell just take a look at the Upload your art thread ) and i would love some feedback.
peace

EDIT: http://www.imusicscene.com/Brahma/
there is a media player on the right side of the screen there. i recommend listening through stereo headphones for a better sound. and keep in mind these are not finished in the least, they were just sketches for me to get my ideas down before i lost them.

There's a Who song similar to this. They call it a mini-opera. It is just a song, not a play, and there's no down time between the "clips".
I'd like to hear/see your idea. I love art music.

probably 5-7 songs, each about 1-2 min long (probably 10 min of actual song), with 2 min intervals/silence between them, so probably 25-30 min ordeal.

any of them, they are just ideas/chunks, that need to be refined and honed.
EDIT: it's more the concept that i am interested in for feedback, not necessarily the content of the song as they are right now.
