This production placed the audience inside a mirrored interrogation room, positioning them as witnesses rather than spectators. The mirror later revealed the play’s fairy tales, staged through masks and shadow puppetry that deliberately echoed — and violated — the visual language of childhood storytelling. The result treated the play not as a narrative alone, but as an event shaped by space, reflection, and audience complicity.
