The Nina Variations

Crumpled pages from the script of The Seagull funnel into the "scene number clock," while blank pages rise upward with multiple implications.

The Clock

Projections within the period style clock included pre-show and epilogue elements, as well as an anachronistic digital font for the scenes numbers.

In this anachronistic production, Treplev remained in the time period in which he committed suicide. Three women of different ages and eras represent Nina as she continued to live her life, replaying the incidents of the past in hopes of a different outcome. Elements of modern times were sprinkeled thorougout the set due to the metatheatrical nature of the play's structure. Upstage, the clock is a clear representation of this symbolism. Pages of dialogue from The Seagull funnel into the period style clock which projects the digital font scene numbers which are referenced in the dialogue.
