A show with 12 lighting effects.
Spotlight. Backlight. Front Light. Top Light. Side Light. Silhouette. Spot Projection. Indirect. Shutter Effect. Gobo. Strobe-light. Blackout.
That's what normally happens with light: it sets the mood, supports the emotional experience of the show, and it can even be a dramaturgic asset, as a means of marking the passage of time, for example. But if a show can't also be staged in general lighting conditions, it's because it's worthless.The story takes place inside the head of a man, sitting on a park bench, feeding corn kernels to pigeons.
The music pieces were all originally written for the show, before the text was even drafted, and were based on the photographs by Júlio Eme, each one about the lighting effects selected by Ricardo Alves.This play is the end result of the work of different artists.
