Roel Adam's Hotel Siberia

Context: Experience design

With two bare hands and a desire to understand the structure of a performance, I joined the production crew of COMEDIA, an established theatre in downtown Cologne, Germany. Life with the crew became my story and subtext to explore. The life off-stage and on-stage overlapped and became one process.

What I have done

  • Handcrafted and assembled props.
  • Assisted director's staff and technicians wherever a hand was needed.
  • Recorded rehearsals on video tape to assist actors along the way of developing their roles.

Plot: Life inside a struggling, family owned hotel business degrades into an absurdly comic drama about greed, despair and search for love.
