Paradise Set Design
Set on an abandoned island during the Trojan War, Kae Tempest’s modern telling of Philoctetes, highlights the destruction of war and human-kind’s negative impact on the planet. The design depicts a war-torn refugee camp featuring washed up trash turned into a home, inspired by nautical themes and made almost entirely from found or recycled items.
