ACIS & GALATEA (Speculative)
Embassy Theatre, London
Scenographer: Jingyi
My vision for Handel's opera Acis & Galatea focus on exploring "perspective" and "division" through set design. While being able to listen to both, the design separates the viewers into two groups, one viewing Acis & Galatea's world and the other Polyphemus's. On one side of the Cornucopia, plenty, the other side, scarce.
At the end of Act II, Galatea brings Acis back in the form of a river, the Cornucopia cracks in half to allow viewers from each side to witness the new birth together.
