| dc.description.abstract | COVID-19 has taken a significant toll on human and non-human interventions. In fact, its impact on health, economy, environment, agriculture, among other daily activities cannot be overemphasised. However, in spite of its consequences, implications and threats globally, it is not also without some major opportunities, especially in the areas of health technologies, discoveries, innovations and digital economy, communication, as well as digital set designs. This paper, therefore, examines digital set design as a pragmatic approach to stage productions in view of COVID-19 restrictions. The paper uses Nigerian Stand-up Comedy and Big Brother Naija Lockdown edition as paradigms. The study employs descriptive method of research to unearth some revolutionary roles of digital set designs during COVID-19. Alan Kirby’s Digimodernism is adopted as our theoretical model. We found out in the study that, technology is at the forefront of the stage and screen production during the pandemic. The study concluded that the overall impact of COVID-19 is undoubtedly a controversial phenomenon. The reason for this controversy is not unconnected to the fact that COVID-19 has its own risks without any prejudice to its opportunities. The paper recommends that digital performance culture should be encouraged not only in the area of set design, but also, in all aspects of performative productions in Nigeria.
