Ride the Cylone Model

Design Statement: The design for Ride The Cyclone embodies the cyclical nature of life and the way the world moves on when we pass. With the show's messages of life just being a ride that can end at any moment, we see a beautiful depiction of what the carnival once while simultaneously decaying in a controlled way that mimics fading stories of the teenagers. The surfaces are all of painted, faded wood and colorfully rusting metals. The lights in former ride pieces electrify the set back to life to bring and add visual interest to the individual's musical stories that all demand different energies. The inclusion of a linear strip of theatrical bulbs framing the stage will tie in the game show/theatrical nature of Karnak’s game while representing where the roller coaster track broke.
