Secret World (1993), conceived and staged with Robert Lepage, used a square stage, a circular stage and a connecting walkway to explore relationships and communication. The telephone in Come Talk to Me was a dramatic image, with its extended cable making distance visible. Watch Secret World Live for how the performers travel between spaces and how the show eventually packs itself away. The design gives the set an underlying journey, so its theatrical effect depends on connections across the evening rather than one spectacular device.
