In the aforementioned project the scenography revolves around light, shades, rearrangement and transformation of available space to recreate indoor(house,room,doctor’s office) and outdoor scenic design(house yard,square)using minimal set design, i.e. a composition of a tree with a blue circle, which is the universal symbol for diabetes, a bench, and a 3-meter-long framed pure white fabric connected to another 3-meter-long room divider with a door opening.
