“Visually, it’s impressive too: the designs by Ana Inés Jabares-Pita, especially a floating metal tree, are atmospherically lit by Danny Vavrečka. ”
“Sinéad O’Neill’s production features no large scenery, but prevails through the use of lighting and colour. The evening begins with Lola philosophising on the nature of trees while members of the youth chorus lie behind her. With Danny Vavrečka’s lighting designs illuminating the raised arm of each person, but not the body, we gain a keen sense of fragile branches swaying in the wind.”
