Bare: A Pop Opera

About the Design

A cross-shaped runway thrusting into the audience, flanked by towering stained-glass panels that fracture the Catholic boarding-school world of the piece into shards of saturated color. The glass becomes an emotional barometer — its color states shifting with the story’s mood.
