Stage Craft
This set was created almost entirely of file boxes. Each box was labeled with an actual extinct, or dying, language, as the main character is a linguist who catalogs these languages. Desks and tables were designed to disappear into the upstage wall by becoming a part of it. Some boxes were opened and illuminated during the performance, with artifacts inside to represent certain moments or characters.
