Stage with a bright opening in a white wall

London, United Kingdom

Chroma

This stage set was designed for Chroma, a ballet choreographed by Wayne McGregor for the Royal Ballet, first performed at the Royal Opera House in 2006.

The British architect reduced the stage to a pale, almost empty room. A large rectangular opening cut into the back wall frames the dancers, and changing light turns the same simple volume white, grey, blue or green as the piece unfolds.
