Shape-Performance for Ropes, Cloth and Pulleys
Selected Category: Space Design
Category: Performance Design, Set Design
Design Statement
The scenography was created for a performance without actors. The scenography itself is the protagonist. The work is the result of a deep research in the field of kinetic scenography, and an attempt to use scenography as a story teller.
Francesco Fassone, by creating scenic machineries with the employment of tools, derived from navigation and stagecraft and shared by both of them (ropes, pulleys, cloth), makes a research on the prospect of making a travel within the limits of a narrow space.
Shape is an apparatus composed by a connection of pulleys and ropes, fixed to a big white cloth (50 m2), made of a sailing textile, with an adjustable strucure, like a sail foot, installed inside an architectural space. The mechanism, driven manually, by two stagehands, like a sail operated by sailors, can move within the ambient, crawling on the surfaces and transforming, creating an incessant process of permutation, evoking different spaces, abstract forms and sensations.
