Mise-en-scène II, Pontevedra 2018

Mise-en-scène is an improbable balloon dispenser that takes over as the centre of the action, involving and summoning passers-by. Introducing an amorphous plastic inflated skin, the piece is to be undressed by the removal of the multiple balloons, progressively revealing the perforated sheet metal structure that gives it shape.

The participated transformation of an opaque and misshapen architectural installation into a contrasting object of overlapping rigid but visually permeable planes occurs from the collection of the balloons from the multiple holes of the structuring epidermis. At the same time, there is the dissemination of the small installation through the public space, spreading a stain of colour throughout the city, which provokes the physical limits of the intervention.

Conceived as an architectural piece that can change colour and/or skin, Mise-en-scène (re)appears in the public space during the Experimenta Pontevedra Festival with a chromatic reinterpretation and an inflatable costume very different from the ones it had in its first appearance in Ovar, Portugal.
