Machinal

 Work, marry, give birth, and produce capital. For the Young Woman- any young women really- finding freedom in our increasingly capitalistic society is a life-long and oppressive struggle. How can a cog in the system break free with their mind intact? Sophie Treadwell's expressionistic play explores mental illness and feminism.
 
 I worked as the associate lighting designer alongside Michael Jarett. Together we sought to get inside the Young Woman's head and match the world to her psyche.
