Butterfly Set
Work on I Never Saw Another Butterfly
We based the set off of a collage piece in the book the play was based off of. It was made by a child in the Theresienstadt concentration camp.
Our TD drafted out the pieces and printed them on transparencies. Then we projected them onto sheets of plywood, traced them, and cut them out with a jigsaw. Then we built a custom frame for each piece.
We added chicken wire as a base to support the paper mache. The paper mache was all made of books that we artificially aged with coffee. It all had to be a single layer thick so that the lights under the set could shine through.
