The ‘Death in Venice & Dido and Aeneas’ project is a double performance in which the actors simultaneously and on two different stages take part in two different presentations, while in the meantime, in the space between, they are working on a third event.
The duality of the concept is effectuated in visual terms with an image that in daylight has two layers, red and blue, merged into each other. Under blue or the red filtered light of the street spots, the picture on the posters is filtered, it is modified, letting through only a certain part of the spectrum, so that we see only the red or only the blue layer, that is, just a single one of the performances, putting us in the position of the spectator who can in a given evening also see just one of the performances.
