“White. The challenge to bring order to the whole…”
Staged on three sides, audiences entered a 3D world of Seurat’s paintings. Using ‘dots’ of light, characters moved through spot-like patches of light, becoming physical embodiments of the characters in the painting.
Starting all in white, actors became the artist’s canvas themselves and added costume as they were painted.
