The project is devoted to the development of a visual concept of the Oresthea tragedy. The focus is on the creation of the main scenery, its transformation, and the operation of the play space.
The work explores how one design can change its meaning and role depending on the stage, drama and location of the actors. Decoration becomes an active actor, creating space and visual rhythm of the play.
In addition, the project includes the development of costumes for characters built in a single script system. The costumes work as visual markers of the forces, roles and states of heroes, supporting the overall concept and scope of what is happening.
1 CHAPTER
The space of the stage is a closed structure that is perceived as a palace and, at the same time, as a space body. The main fractal decoration is static and heavy, highlighting the state of waiting, the accumulated tension and the premonition of a disaster. The light inside the shape is barely visible, like distant signals in the dark.
2 CHAPTERS
The decoration is transformed: it changes orientation and opens up the insides. Space ceases to be stable and is beginning to be perceived as a rift or a abyss. Light is growing stronger, additional amorphous forms are emerging, visualizing the increase in chaos and the irreversibility of violence.
3 CHAPTERS
The fractal form becomes more open and balanced, becoming a structure or system. Space no longer absorbs, but keeps and organizes what is happening. The final light highlights the transition from a chaotic law to a new order.
ASSESSMENTS
The costumes of the characters are designed in direct connection with the overall scenery concept and inspired by the images and materials of space. They are based on associations with space dust, planetary bodies, fragments of celestial structures and artificial forms that emerge at the interface between nature and technology. Through color, invoice, and light, the costumes highlight the difference between the power and state of heroes, remaining visually restrained from the complex scenery.
