SHE DEVIL OF THE CHINA SEAS
Theatre Off Jackson - Seattle
"The idea to have actors not only using the aisles for entrances but also to have bits of scenes there creates a feeling of the audience being somehow involved in the journey Tse is on. This feeling is aided by a beautiful lighting design from Chih-Hung Shao, who uses paper lanterns, with multicolored LEDs inside, hung over the audience to change the tone of the entire room rather than just the action on stage. For example, when Tse is visited in her dreams by sorceress Moh Tsu(Eloisa Cardona), the entire audience is brought into the dream world, enveloped by a deep purple light from the lanterns."
