Proteus Moves Studio : Architecture of Time

Bouazizi Memorial The Fires of Kuwait is about the process of morphoses through a dynamic balancing act between opposing forces. Just as fires devours itself to survive, losing everything to gain everything, the quest for democracy in the Middle East comes with heavy sacrifices marked with destruction and the loss of countless lives. The Bouazizi Memorial does not attempt to recreate or represent the physical manifestations of the revolutions but strives to capture and evoke the contrasting sensations of optimism and violence embodied within the hearts of the men and women of the Arab Spring.

T heatre, like architecture is also process driven and happens through the medium of time. Directing T he Cyclops, I wanted to experiment with perception through the control of light . In complete darkness, what one sees became realit y. By understanding how light behaved in darkness,we could control perception by selectively revealingand conceilng environments through illumination. Darkness then became the stage cur tain where per formers entered and exited seamlessly in and out of sight .
