We had three performances of this atmospheric piece and It was nice to come back to this work now. I broke my ankle badly right after the premiere last year. I had some deep thoughts over the Autumn while recovering from the surgery.. so, it took me some time to remember the ideas behind the scenography. I wanted to have a movie like background and some past time feeling on it. On the other hand I used fluorescent lights as a sidelights to bring it up to the present time. Nice combination, kind of a live movie or "a movie happening" in front of the screen. Then I used just front lights to light up the performers from the background. It´s actually very minimalistic setup. Something new for me and something to keep up exploring over the upcoming premier with Carl Knif Company 2018.
