Gate

Creation, text & direction: Carly Rae Heathcote
Creation, scenography & costume design: Manuela Vilanova

Burn Glass Gate showcases large-scale theatrical images and narratives, where characters navigate the tensions between doubt and belief, fascination and horror. As a spectator, you embark on a humorous journey that repeatedly leads you astray.

Set in the now, we see three characters cross one another over and over again, their lives appear stagnant until the disappearance of one of the characters exposes the fragile grip they have on what they consider to be true. Focused on a thin line between truth and madness, a fictional world arises that both seduces and deceives the spectator.

“

What strikes one immediately in the performance is in fact the visual element which mirrors the barren jumble referred to throughout the text. Manuela Vilanova creates an almost palpable scenography out of beige whose diversity of texture seems to come alive with the performers’ interaction.”
