Lucia Morett and theater, a real relationship (PART 5)
AGONY (The Ballad of Sacco and Vanzetti) was released during a conference held theater in Faro de Oriente, which by not having a theater room forced us to be creative enough to solve the staging. The building that houses the factory called Arts and Crafts East is architecturally similar to the huge vessel of a vessel within which, distributed on two levels along its surface, is a series of workshops and small rooms and offices crowned in one end by a reflecting pool and the so-called "Hall of Performing Arts" which in reality was only a space separated from the rest of the construction by a flimsy wooden wall with a floorboard and a set of folding chairs that served as seats. True to our search for alternative spaces that break with the traditional idea of \u200b\u200ba theater, we decided to avoid using the performing arts hall in exchange for using the entire building located in various parts of the whole scenario that the work required and which together represented a prison facility in their backyards, their workshops, their cells and their terminal flag, where they carried out the execution in the electric chair. Importantly, the fact that the electric chair would be represented by a chosen piece of the exhibition of iron metal chairs happened to be exposed in those days as a result of metal sculpture workshop taught by the teacher and artist Gabriel Macotela in FARO own facilities.
The work began with the projection through a television monitor, the video recorded by Armando Casas showing the aforementioned scene in which a law professor of criminology class taught using as a basis for the anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti who are about to be executed that night in the Massachusetts State Prison in the United States charged with a crime they did not commit at the end of his presentation, the teacher is strongly questioned by a student about the injustice that is about to happen. This student is represented by Lucia Andrea Morett and this is your first stage appearance at a professional level beyond college classrooms.
would also be the first function of a project that by its magnitude stage we already exceeded that, with the fortunate result of experimental use of space to the task we would, from then on, to find a stage as to make this a participatory show in which the public could integrate directly with what happened during the development of the work.
Interestingly, Lucia Andrea Morett did not attend the function of his debut.
