Quarto Escuro de Goethe

A performative experience that invites the spectator to rethink the way we see and feel light, and colours. Inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s book, “Theory of Colours”, this play takes stage in an octagon where light is seen as dynamic matter, transformed through interaction with bodies and space. The audience is invited to enter into an optical and perceptive game, in which shadows, reflections and colour phenomena construct a constantly changing sensory experience. Performance by Beatriz Boleto and Gonçalo Silva. Music by Nick Rothwell.
