a set design for a surrealist play
to express the impossible physics of a dream
Written in 1931, but only produced after his death, When Five Years Pass is one of Lorca’s most surreal plays. It explores the inescapable cycles of desire, memory, and metaphor through a story of a young man whose old love is not how he remembers her, and his interactions with personified facets of both himself and her.
The design centered around ideas of surprising but organically-uncovered set pieces, unfolding and merging the way images do in a dream.
