The Little Prince by Exupery

Site-specific adaptation

The set is the nature itself: an old dry-rotten fallen tree used as a crashed plane. The only character is the aviator himself, who is telling the story through his hallucination and imagination when he was being marooned in the desert in a damaged aircraft. The other characters are sitting amongst the audience chatting with the protagonist.

The Cherry Orchard by Chekhov

Chehov's characters seemed behaving as children, lacking any responsibility. My interpretation is based on children's behaviour: The children hold onto their imagination and this world does not exist in reality. Therefore I used the nursery as a main focus for the entirety of the play and make the other two locations a fantasy world created by them. The entire furniture (chairs, table, arch...etc) built up using giant building blocks, to represent one of the more recognizable toys of childhood.

The Dumb Waiter by Harold Pinter

Site-specific adaptation

The dumbwaiter is designed in a special round-shaped theatre, that feels like looking into a giant gun barrel, where the audience is seated above the stage.
