WOZZECK

SET & COSTUME DESIGN

CONCEPTUAL

COMPOSER: Alban Berg

SET & COSTUME DESIGN: Jana Lakatos

Dissertation research project on the influence of art on opera design. Series of designs as part of a study into the relationship between the expressionist art movement and expressionist opera.

​Design is presented from Wozzeck's subjective perspective to align with expressionist ideals. The design fragments as Wozzeck's mind deteriorates, going from bold & colourful to jagged & monochromatic depictions of the world around him.
