The stage design for Corpus Delicti translates the production’s political and emotional constraints into a pared-back, clinical space between courtroom, hospital and cell. The story unfolds under a regime that monitors health relentlessly and punishes departures from its prescribed norms. Tall benches establish the spatial order and create distance between the characters and institutional authority. Confinement and emptiness give spatial expression to control, alienation and the resistance of the protagonist, Mia Holl. Directed by Marie Schleef, the production was developed in collaboration with the Hochschule für Schauspielkunst Ernst Busch. The role covered the stage design concept and drawings.
