WE MOVE IN THE DARK

Theatre has always fascinated me and I felt the urge to document all the shows that I’ve seen and enjoyed. My passion for the theatrical world, and its protagonists, reflects in my personal work.

“WE MOVE IN THE DARK” is my latest photographic series, where I am focusing on shapes and movements that dancers and actors create on stage. I am keen to frame and capture in time and space their fluid and dynamic movements.

For this specific project, I was interested in using monochrome and varying tones to create a visual language that particularly suits my subjects on stage.

The environment itself suggested me this choice: the performers where emerging from those dark studios thanks to the light design, but most importantly, thanks to their movements and expressions. They might look isolated into that thick blackness, looking almost lost, but their moves actually resonate in a vibrant and vivid flow.

I played with long exposure and high contrast that donate sharp portraits, the essence of the artists who have decided to devote their lives to Theatre and Performance.
