New assignment! This is one of the first projects we as students have done for an outside client. The goal was to capture the essence of seven short plays by renowned playwright Samuel Beckett for an upcoming performance at Johnson County Community College. The plays include:
Act Without Words II: In which two people of disparate personalities are stored in sacks.
Ohio Impromptu: In which an old man reads from a cryptic tome to an old mute man.
What Where: In which there are only five left of a group of four men.
Play: In which three burial urns take turns spinning yarns.
Come and Go: In which three women sit on a bench.
Breath: In which there is breath.
Footfalls: In which a sick child either exists or does not.
Death and confusion play major roles in each performance, which is why my main graphic consists of a sightless skull. The icons overlaid on top represent imagery from the individual acts. They are loosely joined by broken, ashy lines, implying the thematic ties that necessarily join each, but only in a superficial - or broken - nature.
Bring your kids!
