Set Design
Purgatory was designed to be a fusion of natural elements and industrial ones; a fusion of heaven and earth. We build two shadowbox frames, filled with found materials; chain link fence pieces, wire, papers, leaves, old posters, recycled books, iron & steel, among other things. In addition to our exploration of social awareness via Judas, PDP has made a strong effort to deepen our environmental awareness too. Approximately 90% of the props, set and costumes were built out of recycled materials, reused or borrowed. Purgatory is a world of recycled people, ideas and places and it felt right to create our set along those lines. In addition to being artistically stimulating, this set is also environmentally conscious!
