Gobos/Texture

This scene is from the song "He Lives in You" in a production of The Lion King. I really like the use of gobos and patterns in this scene because through re-creating an environment packed with stars, the lighting establishes the mood and represents cosmological connections to people and places beyond this world. I like how the pattern is expressed strongly by contrasting the light from the dark background. I had the opportunity to see this play, and I will never forget the lighting from this song because it was so moving. It was very impactful to see the singer isolated in an environment of stars. I like how the pattern is even established on the ground beneath the isolated actor, as showing a similar pattern from multiple angles perpetuates the ever-presence of the stars and connections to people who have died. Even though the singer is isolated, the lights almost act as props in the song, as he sings about how he has connections to the people who live in the main character.
