The Bald Soprano
For The Bald Soprano, I embraced the absurdist themes by creating a surreal and disorienting environment that mirrors the nonsensical and fragmented nature of the characters’ interactions. The scenic design emphasizes a distorted domestic setting, where familiar elements are rendered in unconventional ways to highlight the futility of language and communication. Through exaggerated shapes and unexpected spatial arrangements, the design complements the irrationality of Ionesco’s work, inviting the audience into a world where logic and meaning are upended.
