‘Antigone’Designed in my First year of University, this theorised design is for the Sophocles play Antigone. A tradgedy written in Anchient Greece for the festival of Dionysis about Antigone attempting to bury the body of her brother, going against the decision of her uncle Creon, the king. When designing for this play I wanted to highlight the themes of deterioration and destruction, so had the base of the stage a clinical shiny white with plans that over the duration of the play the stage would be covered in blood, graffiti and growing ivy through the hands of the chorus and projection mapping. Taking inspiration from athens graffiti, war time art, attitudes towards the throne and the gods. With the stage curtain a stark contrast of the main stage as a warm red retelling of the story of the greek gods.
