LIGHTING & SOUND AMERICA FEATURE
“I wanted the audience to feel like they’ve entered a space that the Blue Men had created for themselves,” he says, “rather than how it’s been in previous productions where the Blue Man characters are more of a visitor to the audience’s space. “Pretty early on,” he continues, “I decided that we were going to create this space using video, sound, lighting, musical instruments—all the things the Blue Men need to do their work—not decoratively but in a fundamental way, which made a very exciting and challenging design process. It translated to an attempt at making a working room-size instrument—rather than a set that was an idea about a workspace, trying to design a space that functionally is a workplace.”

THE FREE WEEKLY INTERVIEW
”…that living lighting is built into every nook and cranny - to the point that Ardizzone-West is proudest of the blurred boundaries within the set. The holistic relationship between the set, the lighting and the video projections is so inherent to the piece that the hope is it feels like it’s all coming from the Blue Men as they create it in real time.”
