Design for the revival “Der Schein trügt” (“Appearances Are Deceiving”).

The visual concept for the promotional campaign draws inspiration from “The Garden of Earthly Delights”, the iconic triptych by Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch.

Through a carefully crafted interplay of cutouts, layers, and shadows, the artwork is reassembled into a new visual narrative. This transformation creates a striking sense of depth and invites the viewer to look beyond the surface — perfectly echoing the play’s central theme: appearances can be deceiving.

By posing the implicit question, “What lies hidden beneath?”, the design captures the intrigue, ambiguity, and psychological tension at the heart of Bernhard’s work, turning the promotional materials into an extension of the theatrical experience itself.
