SHE KILLS MONSTERS: VIRTUAL REALMS

DIRECTOR: Eddie Torres

PRODUCTION ROLE: Associate Scenic Designer

PRODUCTION OVERVIEW: Produced by the Wesleyan Theater Department in the spring of 2021, the lockdown-era version of Qui Nguyen’s Dungeons & Dragons-centric play premiered in a digital fashion to follow campus safety requirements and reach the largest audience possible. I designed closely with Professor Marcela Oteíza to provide actors a playscape for the show’s fantasy action scenes. Our set of modular ramps and platforms was erected in a black-box space, allowing the necessary space to perform and film sequences in a safe, socially-distanced manner. The full show was composed of filmed portions across several sets, as well as scripted Zoom calls between characters.
