STUDIES
PARALLEL VOICES | LA VOIX HUMAINE Scenographer
Designed and conceived by Talia as part of CRUSH showcase at Hackney Showroom in London. Talia is presenting her visions in scenography and set design through the groundbreaking opera ‘La Voix Humaine’, written by Jean Cocteau and composed by Francis Poulenc. In a world of highly interconnected society, she explores isolation and self expression materialising a physical 3d model in such a way that the different fragments of Elle’s dialogue were spatially shaped. Recreating a replica of Studio 1 in Arcola theater, the miniature version was divided into 9 sections supported by red cords. These cords were the object that maintained the tension between the body and the piece of fragment in which the body was located.
OEDIPUS REX (Speculative Design) Scenographer
Speculative Design: The work developed was “Oedipus Rex� (1927) opera composed by Igor Stravinsky and libretto by Jean Cocteau. The development of the speculative project had to be negotiated in relation to an actual space: The Hackney Empire, London.
