The Rise of Power
The Throne Room | Power & Ambition

Scene 02
The Prison
Oppression | Confinement & Control
The same architectural structure transforms into a prison, reflecting the oppressive consequences of Ubu’s tyranny. The enclosing arches, vertical bars, and cold blue backlighting create a sense of isolation and captivity. Long shadows reinforce the psychological tension of imprisonment.
Scenographic Concept: Confinement, oppression, and loss of freedom.
Scene 03
The War
Chaos | Destruction & Collapse
The stage transforms into a devastated battlefield, reflecting the chaos unleashed by Ubu’s reckless ambition. Broken structures, scattered weapons, torn banners, and intense red lighting communicate destruction and violence. The once-powerful architectural forms now suggest the collapse of authority.
Scenographic Concept: War, disorder, and the downfall of power.
