The Penelopiad

For The Penelopiad, I sought to bridge ancient and modern worlds to emphasize the timeless power of Penelope’s story. The set design features silhouettes of Greek architecture, evoking the historical roots of the narrative, while concrete and steel textures bring a modern edge that highlights the ongoing relevance of the themes. This minimalist and stark design underscores the resilience and strength of Penelope and the women around her, creating a space where the past and present merge to enhance Atwood’s powerful retelling.
