Design Statement

Set in a dream from the very beginning of the play, the environment was meant to explore the fluidities of dreamscapes. Like a dream which may change at any moment, the set was a simple “Yves Klein blue” inspired void, riddled with surprises and hidden complexities. Doors rising from the floor, hidden compartments, and ever-changing landscapes created a magical world to highlight the complete beauty and absurdity that is love.
