El CimarrÓn by Henze
Festival Im•Pulso, UNAM (Sala Miguel Cavarrubias), Mexico City

Scenic • Costumes • Video Design

Director–Robert Castro
Lighting–Seth Reisler
El CimarrÓn-Eliam Ramos Fuentes
Guitar–Pablo Gomez-Cano
Flute–Jane Rigler
Percussion–Carlota Cáseres

Technical Director-Mario de LeÓn CortÉs



The scenic design was made up of lines of light (LED Fluorescents) mapped on the deck to create spaces and emphasis, along with a line of chairs and minimal props with the MUSIC ensemble setup. A scrim was used in the prologue.

The set was backed by a full stage rear projection screen with extra-large title cards for each scene, and only image slide projected, that slowly came "almost" but not "completely" into focus over the course of the 70 minute opera. 
 
The costumes were a
contemporary combination of  purchased and curated items from performers' wardrobes.
