Design Statement

This was a devising physical drama production. The production concept focused on “Castration.” The team indicated that it could be divided into two types, “Self-castration” and “Be castrated.”
My first impression was about pain, fear, and loss of self-identity. As a female designer, I tended to view “castration” from a soft and private angle. My lighting design captured the psychological feeling from the scenes, highlighting the mood of each scene and the inner struggling of characters with the use of color, shadow and smoke. Besides, “authority” was the key in the script. It was visually represented through the use of light bulb and punch directional light. Light bulb has been used to symbolize authority power. When you are at the top position, what would be your choice? To get the power, or to leave it away and treat yourself as a “real man”?
