The watching machine was the name given to those 19th century objects that created illusions through mirrors and shutters. In the piece The watching machine the machine is the stage box itself.
Inside there we play with light, shadows and reflections to experience what is illusion, what is representation and what is theatrical convention. A piece composed of small installations where light and shadows are fictionalized through optical illusions.
about the company
Macarena Recuerda Shepherd is trained in performing arts, theatre and dance. Although she has a degree from the Institut del Teatre, what really interests her are participatory projects that aim to create new forms of encounter with art. Since 2012 her research revolves around the role of the spectator. She invents new spaces to play, create and think in company.
Her research is divided into two lines of work, one line of research on language on stage and the other on participatory and pedagogical spaces. She has carried out different projects in collaboration with the artists Sofía Asencio, Idurre Azkue, David Franch, Txalo Toloza and Vicente Arlandis.
