The Beginning

The End

This is a remembrance of the poet John Clare.
It depicts his recitations and memories in the asylum, moving between poetry and visions.

I envision  the stage as a minimalist yet poetic space, mirroring John Clare’s inner world. Suspended fabrics or papers with handwritten text create a tangible expression of poetry. Layered, impressionistic elements shape a fragmented environment, while transparent materials over props evoke nostalgia and imagination.
