Lighting Designer: Aaron Yap
Produced by Singapore Focus Theatre
Truman’s Metaverse is a Chinese play inspired by The Truman Show, talking about how a man found out that he was actually a state of consciousness being created inside a metaverse. Being stark and unrealistic during most times and comedic or touching during others, the lighting style switches from highly dramatic lighting with lots of back lighting, to more cosy and warm, or bright and cheerful, every now and then.
