I designed set for the production of The Little Prince musical directed by Cezary Domagała, which premiered in May 2010 at the Nova Scena of the Musical Theatre Roma in Warsaw and is still playing to this day.
Because of the constrictions of the corner stage, I needed to come up with a design that would make the best use of the space and allow to effortlessly change between the different planets. I came up with an art deco style interior in which the main prop was a desk designed in a way that it could change into an aeroplane. I also designed a lamp that changed its colour depending on which planet we were watching.
I worked closely with the director and projection designer, and I supervised a group of carpenters and prop-makers, providing them with technical drawings and visiting the site every day during the production period.
"The modest scenography is also designed in a way that makes it very functional. The desk, after a quick assembly, represents a plane lying on the desert sand." - Temida Stankiewicz-Podhorecka
