Conrad has been given carte blanche by Opera Flanders to design this set. In close cooperation with director Tom Goossens a grand stage design based on the Construction series was developed.
Journalists Laura Drouet and Olivier Lacrouts discovered the work of Conrad during the 26th edition of the Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk (October 2018). They visited Ghent and spent an afternoon with Conrad to see more of his work and his studio and attended the opera. The visit resulted in a longer interview for Domus, a Magazine for Architecture, Design and Art Lovers. You can read the complete article via this link.
