A set Design of Aristophanes “The Birds” in a Contemporary view (BDA_IE11)

Aristophanes The Birds
Synopsis of my design: The set design is based on the theme escapism. The story evolves around two men in a mental institution. They experience Hallucinogenic dreams and illusions of escaping reality and society. They travel on a matrix in their  dreams, bringing them in and out of reality, their journey brings them to another dimension, a new world surrounds them, birds are seen everywhere, appearing out of crickets and hidden places. They go to live with birds and built a city in the sky with telegraph poles, eventually they start viewing themselves as birds.
They have left the old world, leaving behind a society with laws of Conformity, debt, rules and civic responsibility, which they reject. Eventually the world they built resembles society, which they were escaping from. They wake up from a dream in a mental ward with beds under the telegraph poles, lit like street lights, to see nurses resembling birds, waiting to medicate them, starting the process all over again.
