The following images were provided by the production’s Scenic Designer, Mark Evancho, to show his process in creating the set model.
The set design started with ideas and inspiration from MC Escher. With his 2D optical illusion of staircases and forms dissolving into other forms, we tried to create a world of shapes and forms moving into a 3D optical illusion. Escher’s early studies of blocks, tiling, and lattices, started my thought process, and were the basis for structure created in the model.
