Night and Day

PROJECT

Night and Day

Night and Day is the same cabaret-show repeated at two different times, separated by 12 hours, a night version and a daytime version, using the corresponding natural light. The project investigates the relationship between the night experience and the daytime experience. The absence of artificial light provides at night, in between darkness and shadows, a privileged ground for expression, imagination and freedom, due to its indefinite, anonymous and uncensored nature, and in the daytime, in the sunlight, a confrontation with the memory of the night experience, exposed, defined and possibly censored.
