This work was made for the Opera play for kids call La Bandada.

​

This play told the story of a group of birds who are afraid of everyone else who is not white and clean, becoming eventually violent, push by their leader. A group of small birds decided to run away, trying to find a multi color world, where all birds, regardless of how they look, life together in harmony.  

​

The director has specific needs in this projects, things must be light, easy to fix, recyclable and they must be easy for the actors and dancers to move. 

For this project two main elements were design, the first one was a top of the tree installation, a collection of plastic bags simulating being the top of the trees. This element allowed the light to be an important element, changing according to the situation and the intention of the director. 

​

The second element was 5 trees, made out of cardboard. This trees were not just scenography, but characters, they needed to be move, turn, used as dance partners. Each tree had a different design, different height and special elements that made them unique.
