This Great Stage of Fools

In this 3D scene, an empty theater is lit with multicolored spotlights of red, pink, blue, green, yellow, and purple, like a harlequin's motley custome. The stage sits ready for a play with its backdrop of a stone castle and three shining golden lanterns. The gnarled branches of an old tree cast twisted shadows on the floor, giving a haunted air to the setting.

“When we are born, we cry that we are come
To this great stage of fools”
—King Lear

I had been to an opera, and one of the acts opened with these multicolored spotlights and three lanterns. I decided to recreate a scene like that for April Fool's Day, and the colors made me think of a harlequin or jester's motley costume.
