“Across that bright expanse, the production palette (…) bold and metallic: all gold, silver, white, black and shocking reds. A huge Chinese elm tree sewn with thousands of gold leaves becomes the Cedar Forest. It’s a beautiful aesthetic, rich and raw like Gilgamesh itself, and one of the production’s great strengths.“
