‘Orango’ is an unfinished Opera by Shostakovic. It centres around a half-man/half-ape, and tackles themes of humanity, class and dictatorship. My design runs with the shocking nature of the piece with the bright orange colour palette. I wanted to show that although the story is absurd, it is also timeless.
Composed by Dmitri Shostakovic
