MARAT / SADE

MARAT / SADE

Assembly and Prologue. This design of the play Marat / Sade, by Peter Weiss, takes place in a long warehouse that has been converted into a bath house for the mental patients, who have been taught through art therapy to express themselves through drawing. In their hysteria, they steal de Sade's papers, drawing both on them and every available surface in the bath house, and in the chaos of the final scene, the patients destroy the baths, spraying water all over the paper-covered space.
