The secrets of the set design



The story of a human being. Not a specific human being, it's the story of human beings in general, the development of a woman and a man, from early childhood to older ages.

The serbian play "Kao Da" ("As If") is probably the most general of the orientexpress festival. The play has no particular setting, the plot could happen wherever; many dialogues are held in a fantasy language which for everybody is as difficult or easy to understand and, last but not least, the topic itself is very general. They tell the story of a woman and a man from early childhood to older ages, they meet, fall in love and split up again, they love and hate each other.
Which setup could be suitable for this play? Vesna, the serbian set designer, constructed a wooden box as a symbol for an uterus...

Performances: 17th and 18th of July, at the harbour of Stuttgart.
