Introduction

Inspired by the Balkan folk tale Dead Brother's Song, this devised theatre production reimagines themes of migration, home, and identity through minimalist, transformative stage design.

Result

The central stage element was a dining table, symbolizing the heart of Balkan households. Designed in two parts with movable components, the table transformed throughout the play to create new spatial formations. Feathers symbolizing dust and everyday objects evoked nostalgia and loss.

Costumes sourced from thrift stores reflected the financial struggles of the characters, emphasizing garments as practical necessities rather than style statements. Both the stage and costume designs were showcased in the 2017 World Stage Design Exhibition in Taipei.
