Danton and fellow prisoners sit beneath their accusers on the raised stage

Performers form a sculptural composition

Three performers face each other on the quarry stage

Danton raises his arms against a red projection

Five performers stand against a stark wall

The ensemble fills the stage beneath monumental projections

A performer in a stark white stage environment

A performer isolated within the quarry-like stage

The company gathers in a severe theatrical landscape

A panoramic view of the Danton's Death stage

A performer stands within a field of projected light

A performer framed in the quarry landscape

A performer reads beneath a projected handwritten text

Performers gather by a scaffold in a dark stage scene

The ensemble sits and stands across the quarry set

The company stands beneath a projection about nothingness
