“Performer in Time and Space” Project (MA Costume Design for Performance)
This play cover the human fundamental questions and the eternal fight between sexes. The young and naïve Judith, driven by a passionate love, discover Bluebeard’s soul mysteries, represented by the 7 chambers of his castle.
This costume shows her evolve from girl to adult. At the end of the performance and driven by her persistent curiosity, she managed to open the whole rooms. When she discovered all Bluebeard’s secrets, she becomes trapped by her own dress, by herself.
This play takes place in a brothel of Barcelona when a revolution is progressing outside in the city. Genet uses this setting to explore roles of power in society. In the first few scenes patrons assume the roles of a bishop who forgives a penitent, a judge who punishes a thief, and a general who rides his horse.
This costume is created for the horse character. Basing in Foucault theories of ‘Docile Bodies’ and the relationship between sex and power, the main idea is to transform the performer into a sexual object. She becomes almost a sex furniture when fusion with her saddle. The more she becomes passive, the more the General gain power.
‘Pamplona, 7 de Julio de 2008’ es una pieza teatral, original de Sandra Arróniz Lacunza, a realizar en el recorrido del encierro el 3 y 4 de Julio de 2013. Esta obra site-specific (del ingles, que significa creada específicamente para ese lugar) en espacio público, coge como referencia algunos elementos de la cultura popular Navarra y su esencia ritual, para representar un hecho real y así dar narratividad a la obra. En este caso, un suceso conocido y presente en Pamplona, como lo ocurrido a Nagore Laffage Casasola el 7 de Julio de 2008. La obra se basa y surge desde el vestuario, tratando a través de ellos, nociones como sonido, grito, ruido o silencio.
