EVERYMAN

2012

Everyman dealt with the timeless issues of life and death by asking the audience to consider an important question: When you die, what really matters? What of our Earthly life is lasting and important? 

The world of Everyman, represented through the set, revolved around the central axis of his soul- it was an extension of his inner self- his beliefs, his spirituality, his life. Ungrounded and wrecked, the world of Everyman didn't represent a fulfilled and fruitful life but one full of entanglement and fracture. The space existed somewhere between a forrest and a cathedral- a skeletal landscape reflecting the floatsam and jetsam within his very soul. 

A conversation between light and shadow, told with larger than life puppets, this 600 year old morality play followed the journey of Everyman, tasked by Death to meet his maker God for a reckoning and in turn salvation.
