Everything starts with an idea
Everything starts with an idea. First, it begins with reading the play's text. When starting a project, you read the play through, and after a while, vague outlines begin to take shape in your imagination—details that are impossible to express in words. Just as from haze or darkness, fragments of visions and feelings start to emerge. This is how the idea of scenography comes into being, or what can be referred to as the artistic solution of the performance. Gradually, everything becomes clearer; the days of fumbling in the dark are over, and decorations, costumes, makeup, lighting, and props appear.
As a scenographer, my main instruments are space, time, form, colors, texture, and light. What is most captivating in the work I do is that you can endlessly juggle these instruments, narrating a story and creating an illusory world for the audience. And not only in the literal sense. The most interesting part is when what is visible on stage has such an effect on the audience that an illusory image forms in their imagination. The viewer’s imagination seems to break through what they see on stage, creating a much more diverse and profound image in their minds than the element that provoked it. Thus, during the performance, the stage turns into a magical kaleidoscope of impressions, emotions, and experiences for the audience.
