Why can the Polish production copy the Il Muto ballet backdrop?

Are they copying it, though? The Polish backdrop:

The original Bjørnson backdrop (here from Japan):

Sure, there is temple-like structures with columns at the right side and a water in the middle, but I would not call it a copy. They are easy to tell apart. I'd rather mention the Hungarian design, as that one is VERY similar with its round temple on a height to the right, water with an arched bridge + animals to the left. I'm not sure I could tell the backdrop alone apart from the Bjørnson one:

Which seems a bit unusual for Kentaur's design for the production as he managed to come up with his own looks and angles. But then again this composition is a much used one in both the art world and in set design. The non-symmetric diagonal lines creates a sense of depth, and makes the eye wander around the surface.

See for example Claude Lorrain's muses from 1680:

Roelant Savery's "Nymphs and Satyrs in front of a Temple", 1600s:

Another non-replica production to do the "temple to the right, water + bridge to the left" is the Restaged Tour. Albeit the bridge is rather different, it feels like another variant of the same idea. Here: Vienna.
