Zhan Lu

The inevitable Loop

After reading the text, I found there is a logic chain. Basically, Medea has been persuaded by the Chorus to return to the desert, and in the end, Medea becomes the wind, which means she becomes a member of the Chorus. This formed as this inevitable Loop.

Thus, all my set design surrounds the idea of a loop. The stage combines the circular main stage, semi-circular frame for Chorus and audience, and the circular track of the revolving sun.

I also fill the sand within the whole theatre, and the track of revolving sun also frames the audience area to create an immersive experience for the audience.

One main lighting item is the revolving sun, as it moves and changes colour to fit the tone of the plot, it symbols time, helps the plot, and creates the atmosphere.
