Project description:
Inmolación is a play that talks about suicide in teenagers in a innovative way.

The stage design proposal changes the traditional spatial disposition in which the actor relates with the audience, which helps with the dynamic generated through out the play.

Our main structure is an hexagon in which each side shows us a different place in the story. In the center of the structure we find the audience sitting in stools that are placed on a printed floor that resemble a circuit that connects the audience and making reference to cyber space. The six main spaces that make our stage design are composed by 40 light boxes in different sizes that project images related with the story and in particular with each space.

An interactive video is projected in 4 main screens distributed in a symmetric form in our main space, that works with the stage design and with the story creating an unconventional space, that brings the audience in a closer vision of this difficult and actual theme.
