Project prompt: conceptualize, design and produce a selected segment from Act 2 of Marisol by José Rivera.
This segment production focuses on the disruption and warping of space as Marisol navigates a post-apocalyptic New York City in chaos, attempting to go south to Brooklyn. As she takes each step forward, the cityscape changes in sight, sound, and smell, frustrating her and pushing her on a pathway that may distort her own self ultimately. In the scenic design, these concepts are explored through subway "windows," contradicting signs and collaged, iridescent materials.
