CONCEPTUAL PROJECTS

THE BALCONY
by Jean Genet In an upmarket brothel run by Madam Irma, patrons assume powerful roles - bishop, judge, general - as prostitutes play penitents, prisoners, and even horses. When revolution (embodied by former prostitute Chantal) arrives at Irma's doorstep, the patrons' roleplaying blurs with reality. Influenced by the Theatre of Cruelty, Genet suggested that the play should be performed as a "glorification of the Image and the Reflection." |

PEER GYNT

Included below are some scenic renderings for a small black-box theater, utilizing a circular rear-projection screen. |
