K.J’S LIGHTING IS BOTH STRIKING AND SUBTLE .
THE STAGE
THE CLEVER AND EXPRESSIVE LIGHTING DESIGN BY KJ, TRANSFORMED THE STAGE TO MIRROR THE EMOTIONAL JOURNEY OF THE STORY. FROM THE GENTLE, INTIMATE GLOW OF ROMEO AND JULIET’S FIRST ENCOUNTER TO THE DRAMATIC, SHADOW-LADEN SCENES OF CONFLICT AND TRAGEDY, THE LIGHTING PLAYED A CRUCIAL ROLE. IT NOT ONLY ILLUMINATED THE ACTION BUT ALSO INTENSIFIED THE MOOD, EXPERTLY GUIDING THE AUDIENCE’S EMOTIONS AT EACH PIVOTAL MOMENT.
FAIRY POWERED PRODUCTIONS
THE PRODUCTION’S TECHNICAL ELEMENTS ARE CONSISTENTLY STRONG. KJ’S LIGHTING DESIGN IS PARTICULARLY IMPRESSIVE: DEEP REDS FLOOD THE THEATRE DURING VIOLENT SCENES, WHILE SOFTER TONES ACCOMPANY ROMANTIC MOMENTS.
NUMBER 9 REVIEWS
ANOTHER UNDENIABLE FACTOR IS HOW VISUALLY STUNNING THE PLAY IS. THE LIGHTING DESIGN, BY KJ, IS PHENOMENAL. A DEEP RED FOR VIOLENT SCENES FLOODED THE THEATRE, BUT AT ROMANTIC, INTIMATE MOMENTS, THE LIGHTING SOFTENS, RESEMBLING THE COLOURED REFLECTIONS IN BUBBLES.
REVIEWS HUB
THE LIGHTING DESIGN FLIPS SEAMLESSLY FROM NEON BRASHNESS TO CANDLELIT INTIMACY. LIVE ART ALIVE
