Porto. The Forum do Futuro scenography by Fala Atelier

The Portuguese studio designed the scenography for the Teatro Rivoli in Porto, introducing a set of contradictions.

On the occasion of the Forum of the Future 2017, a series of conferences and debates at the Rivoli Theater in Porto, the proposed scenography was the background for discussions with themes as diverse as nature, pleasure, freedom or the anthropocene.

A set of contradictions was defined: between the perennial idea of nature and its almost nonexistence on stage, between the mathematical rigor of the structure and its apparent ruin, between a polished natural stone and a circumference of impossible colors. Terra eléctrica was the excuse for a play of double meanings disconnected from the ornament that surrounded it.
