Set Design - QUAY WEST by Bernard-Marie Koltes

QUAY WEST

A play by Bernard-Marie Koltès

National Theatre School of Canada, Montreal, QC, December 2017

Set design by: Erika Parra

Coached by: Yanick Larivee

The Concept for this design was intended to create a space where the characters where isolate into a no-way-out space that was also a representation of their internal conflicts.

There is a mix of abstract and realist elements to create a division of space to represent the inside/outside environments. the play of Light from different parts of the space create different spaces where the characters interact with each other.

The inspiration were abandoned industrial spaces with the use of concrete textures to enhance the cold and the harshness where these characters are living in.

Water is also included to show the trap they are living in, where there is no way out from the present they are living in.
