The Borgias is the saga of one of the most remarkable families in history. Legendary for their achievements and even more so for the sordid means of their rise to power. Set in 15th century Italy at the height of the renaissance, The Borgias chronicles the corrupt rise of patriarch Rodrigo Borgia (Academy Award Winner Jeremy Irons) to the papacy, where he proceeds to commit every sin in the book to amass and retain power, influence and enormous wealth for himself and his family.

Le scénographe François Séguin honoré (TVA nouvelles) >

““You get your costume and that gives you one layer of credibility. But when you step on to a set where you have to dodge the horseshit and you’re on real stone streets with very real-looking walls and buildings and hundreds of extras looking very convincing it helps with what I call ‘lying for money.’ We are just pretending, but if we are more engaged in the pretending then I think something comes across.”

There’s no questioning the layering of Canadian production designer Francois Séguin and his British art director Jonathan McKinstry.”
