Boris, driven by the desire to surpass Jean-Michel Basquiat, isolates himself for 99 days to prepare for a competition, resulting in madness and hallucinations.
Set designed for Etcetera Theatre & Greenwich Theatre venues. A patchworked backdrop to create a wall of canvases that emphasise the characters distorted perception of reality. Made using reclaimed materials to accommodate the budget and fit within Theatre Green Book Intermediate standards.
“Let me say how much I appreciated the set by Jana Lakatos. It filled the stage, was visually impactful and gave a sense of the artist's domain and the organised mess in which he lived.”
- Richard Beck (Broadway Baby)
