Peter Rabbit
October 17 2022
This is a children's story IP that I have been in contact with since I was a child, and it is also my favorite children's story. From illustrations to storylines, Peter Rabbit has his own very complete structure. This project was inspired by Tales of Beatrix Potter, performed at the Royal Opera House. It's a ballet stage play where dancers perform in heavy animal suits. This gave me the idea of wanting to design a complete set for them.

The set is divided into two parts. The exterior part is Ginger&Pickes Shop. An entrance and exit are designed for actors at the store door. The other part is the interior, referring to the illustrations of the brambly hedge. It incorporates small stairs, props, food that can interact with actors, and closets that can be opened. A huge tree root separates the two parts, but the front of the stage is still reserved for actors to move around.
