BUILDING THE KREMLIN
The backdrop for this performance was inspired by my favourite building - Saint Basil's Cathedral in red square Moscow, Russia.
I tried to emulate the incredible colours and patterns in this historical landmark.
The Matryoshka dolls were created as an apron concept. Each one is revealed from inside the big Mama Matryoshka - she was actually inspired by the idea of a Kangaroo pouch! I am not Russian, but my love for the rich culture and people has inspired me to attempt to learn the language. :) Спасибо! я надеюсь встретиться с вами на спектакле!
