DELIRIUM
PROJECTION DESIGNER / ASSISTANT LIGHTING DESIGNER
BLACK BOX THEATRE, UNIVERSITY OF YORK (SPRING 2016)
DIRECTED BY VENETIA COOK
How far would you go in a world without morals or humanity?
The Karamazov family live in a world of frustration, violence and devotion. Delirium depicts their collective struggle to resist their inherited demon, the insect which plagues their minds and everything within their world as they obsess over money, God, women, alcohol and knowledge.
What becomes of a life of debauchery, excess and selfish pursuits?
Will it ever resolve, or have they reached the point of no return?
“Another such touch comes in the form of Smerdyakov telling his own life story to the audience towards the end. The character wheels on an old school overhead projector, and projects slides depicting grotesque cartoons of his upbringing onto one of the screens. It offers up a fine example of the unique visual aesthetic and forms of storytelling you can only find in theatre.”
