taming of shrew

I made this conceptual poster for Shakespeare’s play “Taming of the shrew”, performed in Mossovet Theatre in Moscow. “What excites us is what is modern...Shakespeare, be it comedy, tragedy or fantasy, is a mixture of heaven and farce, high and low, beautiful and ugly, which is what our life today actually is”, says Konchalovsky. These words made me think of the Russian idiom “life is black and white stripes” and a beach umbrella with its blue and white stripes, like a series of events in our lives (last slide). To emphasize the contrast of different stages of life, I chose a pair of contrasting and difficult to combine colours, red and pink, red and green, purple and ocher.
