PUBLIC SPACE

Institut del teatre, Barcelona 2018

Class for students of scenography

This course aimed to explore and deepen the field of public space as a possible performative space.

The idea was to investigate to what extent urban space is still a public space. And, if that's the case, who would be the audience and who the actors of this space.

How can public space work as a stage for a performance and simultaneously analyse where public space, already by nature, acts as a stage. For what performance? And who directs it? How can we, with the world's tools of theatre and performance, subvert this urban show?

How, by means of artistic interventions, can we reclaim public space and turn it back into a democratic platform?
