Lisbon, 2015
A temporary structure built inside the Fonte Luminosa (Luminous Fountain) in Lisbon makes it possible to go inside it, through the fountains and waterfalls, in an interaction with the sculptures, water, light and sound.
The structure is presented as an idea of transition to another reality. For the rediscovery of a known place, now experienced in a more complete way, covering all the senses of our body, in an experience that is meant to be total.
The result is a dynamic scenography, materialized in a simple wooden structure, of an ephemeral nature, opposed to the density of the fountain’s stone materiality.
The choreographies generated in this scenario are spontaneous and diverse:. acts of discovery, contemplation, surprise… but above all, actions from the willingness to share the experience.
