Stephen Mills creates a provocative and sensual retelling of this fairytale romance. Heavily influenced by French filmmaker Jean Cocteau’s 1946 film La Belle et la Bête, the design and stylistic elements reflect the magic and mystery of that ground-breaking movie. Striking sets and fantastical, Alexander McQueen-inspired costumes, both designed by Michael B. Raiford, create an other-worldly setting for this story that redefines true beauty and the search for love. Graham Reynolds’ filmic score blends classical instruments with industrial sounds to create a remarkable auditory setting that is achingly beautiful and hopelessly romantic.
