Aurora Borealis

One main goal we had going into this project was to emphasize the organic chemistry and nature of Almost, Maine. As one of the most important visual elements of the show, we knew we had to go big. A symbol we tried to demonstrate was the concept of transparency, not only through the character's raw emotions, but glinting through onto our stage as well. The concept of stained glass was meant to demonstrate the disorganized overlapping of feelings the residents of Almost, Maine experience, as well as give the audience a sense of “seeing-in” to their lives. ​Although most of the scene's dialogue may seem shallow at first glance, each word has an immense impact on their partner. Just one word can stir up jumbles of immense emotions, like a light reflecting through a prism.
