2017

In the not-so-distant future, the elite live in luxury inside a fortified megacity, while the majority of the population struggles to survive in massive, polluted slums. A resistance movement has risen to fight for the rights of the poor, and their most powerful weapons are humans that have been genetically engineered to become living bombs: BURNERS.

This show, for which I designed and built the props and set, was an intimate sci-fi experience. In this small space, the audience was seated above and around the action to evoke watching a gladiator match. The set was designed as a bunker; the looming vents provide the only glimpses of light from the world outside.
