The Cortége

Creative Direction, Fabrication, Set and Prop Design

We were brought onto this project through Brilliant Work agency to help creative direct and then fabricate an immersive 360º set design and prop design for the immersive ceremonial theatre piece ‘The Cortége’.  Working with the visionary show creator Jeff Hull we interpreted his mood images into real world builds. Our main pieces were created to integrate aesthetically the eight 35’ tall lighting towers into the hand-crafted scavenger style of the rest of the piece. We also needed to transform the FOH booth into a gypsy caravan to hide all of the FOH equipment. Within this overall brief we also created working props for getting elements of the show on and off of the field as the show takes place ‘in the round’ with audience participation encouraged.
