designer's notes
This was a circus show created on a farm in the south of France in the space of 3 weeks. With a starting point of Aleksis Kivi’s Seven Brothers, we created a piece that delves into man’s relationship with mother nature. I used many saturated colours to build scenes and particularly in Vernal Equinox, used light as a central set piece. The same piece also allowed to me experiment with water and light for the first time and has only made me eager to do so more.
