Theatre project

"Camera Oscura" is a theatrical project that breaks down reality into its various manifestations through the use of the camera obscura phenomenon as a dividing apparatus that creates two well-defined stage areas, one hidden, and one in view of the audience. The actors move across these stages, while the apparatus, through the magic of the camera obscura, allows the audience to see projected, in reverse what happens in real-time on the concealed part of the stage.

The performance investigates the themes of absence and incommunicability (never more current than now, considering the last months of pandemic and isolation) using the different projections of the self and the surrounding reality as an imaginative basis for the scenography and direction. The latter, using very precise corporal semantics, aims to create a new language, extra-textual and parallel to the script. In addition, the photographic device allows you to carry out true experimentation with images that accompany the action as it unfolds.
