Sisyphus No.9

 Scenography (Lighting Design, Projection Design, Set Design, Sound Design) Tung Jit Yang, Theatresauce 2023 Sisyphus No.9 is a physically visceral performance featuring multidisciplinary artist Liew Chee Heai, with a live score by genre-fluid duo Francoe. Conceived and directed by Tung Jit Yang, the piece draws from two intersecting stories: the myth of Sisyphus—condemned by the gods to eternally push a boulder uphill only to watch it roll down again—and the story of Ludwig van Beethoven, who, on the brink of complete deafness, composes and ultimately conducts his renowned 9th Symphony in Vienna. From silence to symphony, the work reflects on the happy absurdity of futile labour—again, again, and again.
The scenography, inspired by the stark drama of Baroque art, created a bleak and indifferent world against which the protagonist’s struggles unfold, an austere stage for perseverance, resistance, and repetition. Designed for a small university black box, the staging employed minimal fixtures and a set made out of cardboard, working in close dialogue with Francoe’s affecting live score, to shape the emotional and physical terrain of the performance.
