THEÁOMAI

THEÁOMAI is an artistic object of a sculptural nature that calls the visitor to enter through its particular structure. It seems as if it sheds its own skin just for undressing the stand and revealing its most intimate secrets, clamming though the necessity of struggle in theatre and arts.

A verse of a poem guides the spectators to the entrance. The visitor somehow connects this verse with what they find inside, discussing it, becoming playwright for a few minutes.

Inside, the four members of our scenography team work on weaving a long yellow wool ribbon during the time the Quadrennial takes place, non-stop, generating with a simple but significative action a yellow wake that invades the whole space. The set designer becomes then the center of the scene and transforms it, and his gaze is the starting point of a theatre committed to freedom of expression and to diversity of opinions and thoughts.

Our proposal wants to encourage artists to keep their eyes wide open and transform the stage into a place for discussion where the audience question their own ideas.

Many thanks to Anna Gual, poet.
