Street of Crocodiles
Design Concept
A design concept for a site-specific version of Complicite's adaption of Bruno Shultz's play. Using a derelict garage in Penarth, South Wales the design planned to lead the audience through a smokey basement full of burning books, a gas chamber raining bird droppings, and a nest of furniture containing a giant egg that breaks and spills silk yolk across the set.
