Design Statement
The main set in the play is the Tax Office Building, when Antonov forced to go from office to another office, through the hellish labyrinth of bureaucratic unconcern and lack of human understanding. The bureaucratic machine duly churns him around when he tries to convince them that he has just a suede jacket not a real sheep!
The set design is in sepia mood, in five levels and many zones with 13 offices in the middle of a lot of unorganized folders and files hills. All levels surrounded by different sizes and kind of gears, (most of them are 3D printed and five gigantic gears are constructed and they rotate,) revealing many different sides of the system, alluding to the mechanism of a bureaucratic system. In the middle of that there is a broken left with a man inside it waiting the bureaucratic system to fix it.
