Jesus Christ Superstar
Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's rock opera was re-imagined by Billie Wildrick for Cornish College of the Arts' production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Set 1000 years in the future on an Earth that was devastated by a nuclear apocalypse in the year 2019, a group of nomads enters the ruins of an airport with crumbling Biblical text. Their goal is to perform a ritual that resembles Christ's last seven days; their hope being that if everything goes according to plan then a portal to Heaven will open, allowing them to leave behind the hellish landscape they have known.
The sound design for this production was critical to painting the landscape of a barren world. Environmental sounds were tricky, as nearly all life was left destroyed by the nuclear apocalypse in 2019. Sound effects that indicated the climate laid the bed to building the aural world as a whole. Sounds of electricity were also an important player in this production. In this future, electricity is a scarcity that is hard to come by, but for their ritual, the nomads have managed to engineer something to give their ritual a theatrical kick.
