Behind Enemy Lines (Scenography)
We set up the stage at the Théâtre du Rond Point in Paris for a play called “Behind the Enemy Lines”.
The shack
This restricted and dilapidated space contrasts sharply with the TV set, highlighting the isolation and seriousness of Antoine's situation. The dim lighting and rustic details heighten the tension the character feels and, by extension, speaks to the audience.
TV tray
A space designed to evoke a feeling of professionalism thanks to a green background to recall the decor of TV sets. The cameras which film continuously transcribe on the two screens on the left and right in real time the interviews with the virtual set.
This contrast in setting serves to illustrate the underlying absurdity of the play.
Swivel table
Swivel panels
Pivoting panels are at the heart of our stage transitions, enabling quick and efficient changes that maintain audience interest.
The tables, equipped with hinges and casters, open and close depending on use.
Lighting for every scene
The shack
The projections designated on the screen show the passage of time and spectators can see the progress of the piece. The entire room is lit with warm, diffused light.
Antoine's letter
Text and image projections are synchronized with the performance to add narrative depth.
The interrogation
The light projections are on each subject. The room becomes lighter when Antoine leaves the room where he is locked up.
The TV set
The projection screen in the center extends to the ground in order to hide the panel where Antoine is locked up. On the screen, the green color is projected in order to further immerse the viewer in the environment of the TV set.
