ABOUT MIMI'S WORK
Mimi Lien is a set designer for theater, opera, and dance whose bold, immersive designs shape and extend a dramatic text’s narrative and emotional dynamics. Lien combines training in set design and architecture with an innate dramaturgical insight, and she is adept at configuring a performance space to establish particular relationships—both among the characters on stage and between the audience and the actors—that dramatize the play’s movement through space and time.

In sets for both large-scale immersive works and for more traditional proscenium stages, Lien envelops the audience in a specific mood or atmosphere. For Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 (2013), Lien designed a full-scale Tsarist Russian salon that summoned up the decadence of early nineteenth-century Moscow and the chaotic emotional lives of the Russian elite. Her simple and stark set for Born Bad (2011)—brown shag carpet, worn wallpaper, and three wooden chairs on a platform that is overhung by a low ceiling—created a claustrophobic environment that heightened the play’s portrayal of family tensions.

For other works, Lien choreographs the movement of set pieces so that they become participants in the dramatic action. She propelled the narrative action forward in An Octoroon (2014), as a series of cascading false walls enacted a sequence of startling set transformations. With surrealist touches such as a sloping floor and an aperture that opened and closed to create a sliver of light suggesting a tightrope, Lien brought to life the eeriness of Hades’ underworld in Eurydice (2008), while also evincing the devotion of Eurydice’s father as he constructs (onstage) a string room for her that is held aloft by helium balloons. In projects that range from large regional theaters, to small experimental, hybrid pieces, to a performance in an 81-acre meadow, Lien is revitalizing the visual language of theater and enhancing the performance experience for theater-makers and viewers alike.

BIOGRAPHY
Mimi Lien received a B.A. (1997) from Yale University and an M.F.A. (2003) from New York University. Her designs of sets for theater, dance, and opera have been seen nationally and internationally at such venues as Soho Repertory Theatre, the Public Theater, Lincoln Center Theater, Berkeley Repertory Theatre, the Joyce Theater, Philadelphia Live Arts Festival, the Goodman Theatre, and Perm Opera and Ballet Theatre (Russia), among many others. She is an artistic associate with Pig Iron Theatre Company and The Civilians and co-founder of the performance space JACK.

关于米米的作品
Mimi Lien是一位戏剧、歌剧和舞蹈的布景设计师,她大胆、沉浸式的设计塑造并扩展了戏剧文本的叙事和情感动态。Lien将布景设计和建筑的训练与天生的戏剧洞察力结合起来,她善于配置表演空间,以建立特定的关系--在舞台上的人物之间以及观众和演员之间--通过空间和时间来戏剧化戏剧的运动。

在为大型沉浸式作品和更为传统的舞台布景中,连恩将观众包围在一种特定的情绪或氛围中。在《娜塔莎、皮埃尔和1812年的大彗星》(2013年)中,莲设计了一个全尺寸的沙皇俄国沙龙,唤起了19世纪早期莫斯科的颓废和俄国精英们混乱的情感生活。她为《天生坏蛋》(2011年)设计的简单而鲜明的布景--棕色绒毛地毯、破旧的墙纸,以及被低矮天花板悬空的平台上的三把木椅,创造了一个幽闭的环境,加强了该剧对家庭紧张关系的描述。

对于其他作品,Lien编排了布景的运动,使它们成为戏剧行动的参与者。她在《八爪鱼》(An Octoroon,2014)中推动了叙事行动,因为一系列层层叠叠的假墙上演了一连串惊人的场景转换。在《欧律狄刻》(2008年)中,莲用超现实主义的手法,如倾斜的地板和开合的光圈,创造出一束光,暗示着走钢丝,将哈迪斯阴间的阴森之气带入生活,同时也表现出欧律狄刻的父亲为她建造(舞台上)一个由氦气球支撑的弦室时的虔诚。在从大型地区剧院到小型实验性混合作品,再到81英亩草地上的表演等项目中,连恩正在振兴戏剧的视觉语言,并为戏剧制作者和观众增强表演体验。
