Mark Fisher

Theatre and Set Designer

British architect Mark Fisher has earned an international reputation for his spectacular rock concert designs. His best-known work includes The Wall for Pink Floyd, Bridges to Babylon for the Rolling Stones and Elevation for U2. He says the biggest difference between designing a rock show and a Cirque show is that Cirque's artists interact much more with the set. "In a rock show the scenery is much more of a background," he explains. "Here, it's actually part of the landscape in which the performers live and move to create their show."
