“The costuming (Snezana Pesic) is wicked from Fonzo’s suits … to the coy/tarty bridal gowns of the final act“.

…”The sights and sounds of Hades are truly frightening thanks to Snezana Pesic’s atmospheric lighting and Matthew Waddell’s intense sound design. “

“Snezana Pesic’s design is unusually spare and elegant. None of the usual dust cloths and clutter as Lyubov and her unravelling entourage return home to Mother Russia after five years. She gave us instead a floating image of a luminous branch, a doll-house, two outsized frames, a couple of chairs and a lot of space. The family don’t seem to occupy their old lives.”
I regard myself as a scenographer in the broadest sense, or as a multi-disciplinary artist, rather than a traditional theatre designer. As such, I am always seeking to expand, refine, and revaluate my skills and their application modes through performances and practical research grounded in design.
