Compagnie des Perspectives
2016
Traveling Abroad to see a festival of art performances, comedians, plays, and everything from big to small. They filled every nook in bars as well as theaters with events, where artists took up space to present themes across the board. They presented programs that were free, the schedule of performances spanned the entire day and night, and The Edinburgh International Festival brought crowds to the city with so many extraordinary performers and artists, and audiences have all this content to pick up from all types of genre, modes of performance, and scenery from companies from all over the world.
Diary of a Madman
Antoine Robinet performs in a one man act, Nikolai Golgol’s masterpiece. The Fringe Festival in Edinburgh offered adaptations, new plays, and venues across the city. This literary master piece was held at the Institute Française d’Ecosse.
Drama, Solo Show
UCLU Runaground theater
Dante’s Inferno
The translation of another masterpiece, this time Dante and Virgil’s adventure into the nine circles of hell.
The catalogue of performances across the city, brought such a change to the urban setting, that locals witness the crowds double or, even triple the usual population.
National Theatre of Scotland
The Glass Menagerie on the national theater stage was the darkest play in my memory of drawing performances. The spot light on the stage was like a shooting star, the story of Laura and Tom, their mother Amanda Wingfield in their St. Louis apartment. Shot down dreams, and social inability to escape the reality of identity and status in society. Besides the love for Amanda’s family and desire for greatness, alcoholism, disability, and an absent father, we witness the imagination of Laura’s child like allure.
The travel to such a magical place, took on an oeuvre. The characters, the movement, and
multi-media on stage translated to drawings in sketch showed something -the theme -stage direction
Following the influence for our purpose, with no previous training in the theater, and completely unaware of what is out there in the medium, the repertoire, or anything. Katherine Weber, a philosopher of Duquesne University, a doctoral candidate at the time was leading the selection of, spectacle, vulgar, moral, and classical designs.
-anatomy
The message from show to show, it was linear how programs flowed into the next. Sometimes, character and scenes reappeared in other titles from another show.
