Lucas Benjaminh Krech was born in Berkeley California in the latter half of the twentieth century. His first word was 'Light.'
As a young child he enjoyed staring into flashlight bulbs and eventually turned that childhood love into a career.
Lucas loves light in all forms. The natural light of a sunset. The stage light in a dance piece. And the inner light of
spiritual happiness.
"In design my interest is in the intersection of time and form as an existential question. What does it mean to be seen in
a particular light? How does our self-perception change as the given circumstances around us also change. Light, being
so mutable an element as it is, affords these questions a depth and breadth of response within any given stage work be it
Opera, Dance or Theatre.
My love of philosophy, literature, poetry, music and dance have mixed well with my love of light. Light for me is a visual
framing device that presents a given situation as a kind of hypothetical, a 'what if' and asks the viewer to look closely
at both the situation in question and within themselves to find a deeper understanding of life's mysteries.
Theatre, by which I mean all live performance, is the perfect means of exploring these ideas. The collaborative nature of
performance forces its participants to ask questions rather than provide answers. One must listen both to the other people
in the room as well as the larger work itself to discover what it is trying to say."
