HORTENSIA AND THE MUSEUM OF DREAMS: Taking place in Havana, Cuba, it was vital that the set for this show recreated the architecture of the city, while allowing for the space to feel open. In order to do this in a black box theatre, I designed the set to be as tall as possible and as close to real life scale, with walls that replaced the traditional curtain masking. This made the actors look smaller and implied that the world continued on past what the audience could see, thus making the room feel larger.
