ABSTRACT

Today I fly to Munich. I have packed my tools and drawing equipment, a model is travelling with me, safely stowed in a wooden box. There are also samples of wood panelling and carpet and some acetate templates for printing wallpaper. I have been commissioned to design a stage-set for a production in the Prinzregententheatre in Munich for a total fee of €300. My sister is the director. I will be staying on the floor of her flat and spending every day for the next two months working on the construction of the set.
