Absinthe Production Design

Absinthe Production Design is an innovative theatrical production design that masterfully merges physics and scenography, created by visual designer Vivian Lu. This groundbreaking stage design features a central oval-shaped platform that serves multiple interpretative functions, symbolizing concepts from time to the Milky Way and even a Möbius band, demonstrating exceptional versatility in theatrical storytelling. The design's most distinctive feature is its integration of cutting-edge laser light sound visualization technology, which transforms actors' spoken words into visible light patterns, creating a dynamic interplay between sound and visual elements. The stage utilizes dark reflective panels with carefully applied splattered paint effects to evoke a mysterious universe, while its precisely engineered curved surfaces enable smooth transformations during performances. This Silver A' Design Award-winning production design, recognized in the Performing Arts, Stage, Style and Scenery Design category, showcases remarkable technical innovation through its custom-made sound laser visualizer system, which responds to different vocal frequencies, creating unique visual patterns based on performers' voices. The design required extensive research in physics, particularly in areas of black holes and relativity, to create an immersive environment that effectively communicates complex scientific concepts through artistic expression. The production's successful tour across major Chinese cities in 2019-2020 demonstrated its ability to enhance theatrical experiences through innovative technological integration while maintaining artistic integrity.
