Stage and spatial design
Spatial installation, light, laser, projection.
Description The stage design was developed in close collaboration with the choreographer and ensemble. For the first part of the work, circular white walls formed a resonant chamber for voices, bodies, and time, creating an intimate and reflective spatial condition. Laser light drew fleeting figures across transparent surfaces, echoing bodily memory, rhythm, and breath. In the second part, the space shifted into a more fluid and expansive environment. Light, projection, smoke, and laser evoked an abstracted sense of water and movement, supporting a choreography that moved between fragility, humour, and vitality. The scenography functioned as an active partner to the performers, shaping perception rather than illustrating narrative.
