EXISTENCIA INSTRUMENTAL

Igleisia St Luis, Seville, Spain

Based on ‘Life is a Dream’ by Pedro Calderón de la Barca

Part of Central St Martins MA Scenography course, 2001.

A piece of devised performance using collected text, Spanish nursery rhymes, objects, recorded and live sounds. Igleisia St Luis is a Baroque cathedral rich in ornamentation and architectural details, and above all, excellent acoustic qualities. The piece, designed for the mind’s eye, explored the visual and acoustical relationship of scenography by creating a textured theatrical experience where sound and imagery collided and merged.
