PRATO is the elemental shadow of DELIO

Description of the ELEMENTAL concept:
In the end it was the exploration of colour as foundation for costume concepts that gave birth to our unusual interpretation of the supporting cast, now known as THE ELEMENTALS. Each Elemental will be assigned to one of the principal characters. It is important to note that the colours associated with each Elemental may never appear on stage in any literal fashion. The colours merely represent the core psychological attributes of the principal characters, and their Elemental shadows.
Although supporting in nature, the Elementals are a critical part of this interpretation of 'The Duchess of Malfi'. They will be our shape-shifters, fluidly moving from one state to another as required. Each may have several incarnations as both people and other more abstract 'elements'. They will help us illustrate the settings, mood and even the passing of time. They are unusual in that they observe as well as participate in the story; able to understand and reflect on the details of these events from a more removed perspective, like that of 'spirit guide' or 'souls passenger' for each principal. Their names will never be spoken as the principal characters are not aware of their unusual attributes and recognize them only as the characters they portray within each scene.


DELIO'S totem colour:
(GREEN): Delio, being the least seen principal character is left to a lot of interpretation. He's our 'traveler' and the only character that shares a scene with every other principal. He's the script's one common thread. Green is considered the centre of the spectrum and in that regard alone I like the connection. Positive attributes are harmony and equilibrium. Negative traits (which we do not have an opportunity to witness in this story) can be boredom and stagnation. It seems like a very comfortable fit.
