Description

In the night, in the darkness of our brain, we dream of illuminated spaces glowing with colours and shadows.

That light we invent is not produced by a light source; it is just pure and beautiful imagination. In the theatre, nothing is true except the presence of actors, dancers, musicians and stagehands. Whoever invents a stage space has to immerse these figures in places that gleam in evanescent ways. In this encounter we will think about ways of decking out the figures animating the stage with light. Light, real or imaginary, will be our starting point to create worlds, tensions and spaces on stage. We will also think about the impact that these reflections should have if we were called on to design a theatre that was above all a space where light has to be able to dance freely.

Objectives

In questo incontro penseremo come vestire di luce il gesto di un
acrobata, come immergere le parole cantate o suonate dentro a
un gioco di riverberazioni caleidoscopiche, come far apparire e
sparire elementi giganti della dimensione di un abbraccio. La luce
sarà il nostro punto di partenza per immaginare quest’anno come
inventare sulla scena mondi, tensioni, spazi, l’infinitamente piccolo
o il gigantescamente monumentale usando luce vera o la luce
immaginaria che ci portiamo dentro. Ragioneremo anche sull’impatto
che dovrebbe avere queste riflessioni se fossimo chiamati
a progettare un teatro che fosse prima di tutto uno spazio ove la
luce deve avere modo di danzare con sufficiente libertà.
