Opera Australia, Madame Butterfly – Sydney Harbour
Designed by Alfons Flores and directed by Alex Ole from La Fura dels Baus.
I’ve had the privilege of working with this creative team from Catalan on a few occasions.
In this instance we were asked to paint two cloudscapes onto sharks tooth gauze., similar to a fine mesh that allows air and light to pass through it, making it ideal for the blustery conditions on the harbour at night. this particular painting ended up submerged in the harbour on one occasion for fear it would be blown away by gale force winds. I expected it to come out of the water blank, or at least faded, strangely it was undamaged.. pure luck, couldn’t have done it if I tried !
