'JOKER' - A Tarot Card Fantasy
A Fool's Journey in search of the meaning of life.
Controlled by ‘Good and Evil’: - The 22 Major Arcana personified.
Tempted by Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts & Spades; - The Pleasures in Life.
Wisdom is derived from the Old; - Staves, Coins, Cups & Swords.
A full circle journey in which 'Light balance Darkness'.
The Answers We Seek, … Lie Deep Within.
THE DESIGN CONCEPT
This Visual Gallery pays homage to "The Fool's" Magnificent Journey as governed by his spectacular surroundings; - "TheTree of Life" and the "Kabala" which served as inspiration for the Set Design for JOKER - Revue Mystique.
The costumes are inspired by The Characters of the Major Arcana in the Tarot Deck of Cards and the Four Suits of playing cards, both ancient and modern.
