Entry DescriptionBreaking the Castle is one mans journey of surviving addiction. The piece travels through various timelines and locations. The static monolith centre piece allowed transformations from bedroom to street to rehab.
The lighting design allowed for these multiple locations both real and abstract as we venture into the world of the junkie/alcoholic, actor/performer, reveal childhood trauma, all referencing back to rehab.
Colorful in places, stark in others. The piece offered lots of opportunity to play with layers of light, often at very low intensity.
Two Clay Paky Alpha 700 moving heads worked tirelessly throughout the 90 minute show as specials, effects and wash. A raft of LED Pars gave strong color side-light with the remainder of the rig consisting of generic fresnel's, profiles and Par56's.
