Blue
A retelling of the Bluebeard Myth
Coming 2021
I’m collaborating with my great friend and colleague, the talented Mr. Thomas Jancis (he has many middle names, but we’ll leave them out). Since 2019 we’ve been developing this original work and this year we’ve begun R&D'-ing as well as writing!! We are shooting for a script by July or August of this year.
We are approaching this troubling old tale with a fresh lens. The script mixes elements of horror and modern storytelling to reconsider the moral that lies at the heart of this old mystery.
We’re then moving into readings and R&D’s involving actors and designers.
The Design
This piece is being design as an immersive experience that can be toured in warehouses, theaters, and large open spaces. It relies heavily on projection, sound design, and a large moving set that shapes and reshapes around the audience.
Co-devised and written by Tierra Izzo & Thomas Jancis
R&D 1 collaborators: Nick Izzo, Lorien Lindstrom, Ruth Adams, & Roxana Haines
The original story
Check out the original story by Charles Perrault (1697) below.
“...this is the master key to all my apartments. But as for this little one here, it is the key to the closet at the end of the great hall on the ground floor. Open them all; go into each and every one of them, except that little closet, which I forbid you...””
