This extraordinary text was so captivating to work on : the frame given by Beckett is so tight, it allows to concentrate on essential matter. Reading and reading the text with Danya and fellows designers, I felt Becket description of the world is so physical. I made the floor rounded, like the earth. And Ham on balance on the top, trying to resiste life.
« … Sabine Dargent’s atmospherically pallid set it’s a bittersweet delight.»
