PHAUNA: Audience Reflection on Space

Title
en PHAUNA: Audience Reflection on Space
Description
en Collective members enact a fictional interview as audience members, reflecting on the spatial apparatus of a performance.
The imagined experience begins before entering the main stage, as spectators pass through a transitional corridor, where shifting lights and textures begin to activate the senses and open the audience towards the work.

Upon entering the performance space, the audience is seated in a soft circular formation that can expand or contract, allowing fluid proximity between performers and witnesses. The spatial apparatus creates a porous boundary where the audience becomes part of the living scenography made of huge projections, and trash installations.

A central element in the performance is the live interplay between performers and light, with the light designer present on stage as an active performer. Light becomes a co-creator of space, atmosphere, and relational dynamics, continuously shaping the spectators' sense-making, intimacy, and engagement. In the interview, the fictional audience members reflect on their affective and sensory experience, the feeling of being hosted, and the speculative relations generated between bodies, material, and light.
