DESIGN CONCEPT

​

Through the use of a single narrative line, Dana’s monologue, in the story, Dana’s solitude is strongly emphasised. Since Eric appears to be a reflection of Dana, their overlapping of space on stage signifies the merging of two hearts. 

​

To build a 90’s ambiance, the image design in this play consists of slides, old-fashion projection, and the texture of black-and-white photograph. The whole stage is covered with images, adding yet another layer of narrative space to the overlapping one that has already exist in the story between the two leading characters. Also, they could serve as the transitional supplements for the story or the carrier that exhibits the inner worlds of the two characters. My image design attempts to extend the narrative space of the play, weaving abstract emotions and actual incidents into the the narration and making it possible for the genuine and the illusionary to be intertwined and complemented in a imaginary space.
