SET DESIGN BY WILL BOWEN

The Murder of Duncan

The Witches are the third principal in this opera and were made to inhabit an in-between world by dissolving into the projected scenery. The set was a giant climbing frame, bringing a third dimension to the action. The images were all related to mathematical Chaos Theory - many of them with Icelandic connections (The Northern Lights, volcanic lava and snow crystals).
