WHAT I SEE WHAT I WANT TO SEE HOW I CAN LEARN TO SEE WHEN I DECIDED TO SEE WHAT I CAN’T SEE I DECIDED TO DON’T SEE

Since my childhood I have used the imaginary field to feel better, to create a soft, powerful world where I could be cocooned. A world to suffer less and to transform this matter in images. Growing up this became my work field.
Set design is my vehicle. Set design for me is the field where I can find my deep self and where I can empower it. The set becomes a space where performance, the gaze of the Other, the meeting with the Other, the space as human beings melt and discover each other. Where the angst, seen as a sign of desire, morphs in dramaturgical images.
Objects are a crucial focus in my research: what they can absorb from within and without, vessels and boosters, absorbers of the history and intentions of human beings; I’m interested in how they can be manipulated, their transformation and evolution on stage.
I want to create a space where there’s no fear of thinking about a new use for objects, about how materials are used even creating new ones that can be altered, dissolved, expanded on stage. Bodies, lights, heat, internal and external agents can change them.
I’m working on it.
And all starts in the opera lirica field.
Lacan fan.
