King Lear follows the king of the same name, and his fractured relationship between his daughters and his subjects. For our rendition, we wanted to focus on how Shakespeare writes nature into his story. Nature as in both human nature, characters' relationships with each other and how they break, and the natural world. Nature itself continuously surrounds our characters throughout this play. I built a score that, like nature itself could be ever present. At the same time, it was also built to not take the focus of the scene, and keep the energy of the show moving forward. In representing the fracturing of these relationships, and the breakdown of mother nature, we decided to build a sonic world inspired by metal music. I also played with the contrast of using acoustic instruments (Guitars, drums, metal pipes, didgeridoos, etc) and electric instruments to represent the fracturing of nature and human nature.
