His wounds still open for attention, touched, but he did not want pity. Where was his stage was a huge void in the open. The roof and the platform had disappeared, but the energy of all the artists who had passed it lingered in the walls, so it was proposed to act in this space on a ramp. As a sign that he approved our idea, we discovered the building left a boarded door in the wall at the point at which the ramp heading. It was the pass that was needed for entry and exit of players.

“Faust” needed a bridge, a huge platform and a skirt made ​​from the rubble of the theater. “Othello” required to build new platforms and define spaces in which facts were developed parallel to the main action. “The Musical” was a peculiar case, because the public was at the old stage and was represented at the meeting, which was covered with gauze cloth to symbolize that protect the scars of the wounded and involving the entire space of the theater in action.
