National Premiere
At the intersection of live performance, digital art, and visual art, Deep are the Woods is an immersive show in which light takes center stage. Made tangible by a fine mist, it fills the space with a sense of breath and vibration. The viewer moves freely within a light that reveals its materiality, enveloping and caressing, giving the impression that it can be grasped, and creating a space for projection that is both physical and mental. The movement of its rays gives form to the void and fills it with an intangible presence: a cathedral without walls, made of inner vibrations, which invites viewers to expand their perception of the world through the immaterial. A creation inspired by a powerful connection with nature—like the rays of light filtering through the leaves in the forest—and what lies beyond nature: what happens when one ventures deep into the forest at night, and what lies beyond the sky. There is the idea of rediscovering oneself and a connection with the Universe.
