“The first question any team asks when adventuring into the morality myth of Don Giovanni is: how will we represent hell? Director Kasper Holten and I determined that, if the ultimate expression of life is liberty, then hell is the closing of doors and corridors and the end of choice. We materialized the long list of Giovanni’s lovers into an often overcrowded, revolving, multistory structure full of stairs and corridors. The model at right was an early exploration of labyrinthine stair forms.”
