She Kills Monsters: Virtual Realms
BY QUI NGUYEN
BAYLOR THEATRE, FALL 2020
Our director had the concept of centering the design in the tao te ching. I wanted the cheer-leading, older sister, Agnes, to move towards her recently-killed nerdy sister’s color scheme as she grows closer to her sister, Tilly, through playing the Dungeons and Dragons module Tilly left behind. The fantasy world characters are also opposite and parallel to their real world players, as though the characters are completing and balancing themselves through the game. This design is a love letter to cosplayers, live action role players, and nerdy nostalgia movies alike.
