From ideation to execution, the team spared no effort in bringing the project to life. With meticulous planning, they found the perfect location in a West London warehouse, allowing for two distinct and captivating performances.
Ensuring the creative direction of these pieces harmonised with the tone and themes of the show and the selected songs was essential. “Open Up Your Door” embodies themes of hope, love, and shelter, which were mirrored in the production. A solitary, warm spotlight enveloped the singer, casting her as a beacon amidst darkness, symbolising hope within a challenging world.
“Midnight Train” delves into themes of yearning, the desire for freedom, and feeling trapped. To echo these sentiments, our performance unfolded against the backdrop of a cityscape visible through a foggy window. The obscured cityscape, though discernible, mirrored the protagonist’s struggle in the play—a poignant portrayal of the urge to break free yet being hindered. The gritty aesthetics of the buildings, characterised by exposed brick and industrial angles, resonates with the working-class essence of the characters.
