Under: A New Musical
DIR. ALEXANDRA CADENA, NYC FRINGE FESTIVAL, 2015
About the project
Under tells the story of Serena, a patient at a college psychiatric hospital. Serena retraces her steps over the past year of manic peaks and depressive episodes with fellow classmates, discovering how that high-pressure world landed her where she is now.
Design Concept
*all designs were created in Blender, Adobe After Effects, and Adobe Photoshop
The overall concept was the idea of things that look good on paper. Elite universities base prestige and success around grades, resumes and optics. Every design element is digitally constructed from flat pieces of paper covered in phrases connected to the emotional state of the characters in the play.
Other projections include falling pills, and a “party scene” that features live-action, stop motion photography.
