….AS MONK FACES HAMILTON ACROSS THE TABLE, A CAMERA
HELD BY HAMILTON PROJECTS THE INSIDE OF MONK’S SINGING MOUTH
ON THE BACKDROP IN BLURRY BLACK AND WHITE. SOMETIMES
PATTERNS-LIKE VIDEO GONE AWRY FILL THE BACKGROUND.
NOELE STOLLMACK’S LIGHTING AND GABRIEL BERRY’S COSTUMES EXTEND THE QUIET SPELL….
SEQUENZA 21:
FIRST, THE DESIGN ASPECT IS HAUNTING AND UNEXPECTED. IT HAS BEEN PAIRED
DOWN TO AN ALMOST STARK AND SOMBER ESSENCE. THE LIGHTING BY
NOELE STOLLMACK COMPLEMENTS AND INTENSIFIES THE SUBDUED QUIET
OF THE “ONE ROOM CABIN” WHERE MERCY TAKES PLACE. THIS INTIMATE ENVIRONMENT
PLAYS A DECIDED ROLE IN THE FEEL OF THE WHOLE WORK. IT SETS THE TONE.

Santa Fe Reporter:
“And speaking of light, lighting designer Noele Stollmack
deserves a nod for bold choices, including cool colors
perfect for a world without a sun, as well as the bravery to
plunge the whole stage into darkness as Sweet Potato and
89 search for Grandmother. You don't realize just how
rarely lighting designers are willing to put characters in
darkness until it happens”.
