Absinthe

Absinthe is a stage design created for a theatrical play about physics, matter and psychology.

Dark reflective panels covered with splattered paint suggest a vast and mysterious universe. A custom laser light sound visualiser allows sound to be seen, because the laser beams are distorted by the frequency of the voices of the actors.
