The concept of my stage design was making a "playground-palace" of stone and iron elements. My intention was to create a space which makes it possible for adults to play like children - as they do in the story itself.
The construction, however, remains dangerous due to the use of sharp rocks and hard iron, making the game similar to most of the adult games we play in our life. In my opinion, Shakespeare's characters all behave like children at some point of the story, deciding at the same time about deeply serious problems, which makes their infantility just as dangerous as jumping around on this cold, hard playground.
The actual set does not contain rocks - the rock-like elements on the stage would be made entirely of wood, worked and painted after cutting to the right shape in order to give them the right texture.
