Design Statement

This production of Iphigenia in Aulis drew on the aesthetics of 1970s Cyprus. In turn, the set seeks to reference this setting through abstraction. While on a beach, we see what might be a building in the distance. Crates with Greek writing lay on the beach as the Greeks await wind to take then to fight the Trojans. The bright colors highlight the chorus and setting of 1970s Cyprus, contrasting the inevitable sacrifice to please the gods.
