Amplified edition 1

In collaboration with h2dance, we developed the set design and costumes for the performance piece Amplified Edition N° 1. Backstage materials like standard floor insulation, ropes, gels, and tubing took center stage, animated by the performers. The soundscape emerged from amplifying the movement of these materials.

 

Using everyday objects, the performers generated dramatic, overpowering scenes on stage, manipulating ropes to control the movement of these elements. This created worlds that shifted between moments of serenity and catastrophe, all while maintaining a sense of beauty.
