phish | GAMEHENDGE
2023. production design.
Gamehendge brought Phish's mythic concept album to life as full-blown theater. Jason Ardizzone-West's production design conjured the fantastical world of the album — puppetry, aerial work, and a shifting scenic landscape built to support Lisa Shriver's story-first direction and choreography. The result was less a concert than a strange, sprawling piece of storytelling theater, built for a band whose audience already believes in the myth.
