Stalls Project.

I believe that while theatres are created with the purpose of theatrical representation they also embody different stages of history. It is not important whether the theatres are old or contemporary, whether they are different shapes or styles; they are part of our history. They are alive and active and should be documented as historical monuments brought together in a global panorama.

Seats, carpets, lights, interior designs and the essence of human presence distinguish each theatre’s appearance. Theatres, without spectators, without actors or actresses, are stages within stages.

With support from several Fine Arts grants, I have carried out this project in Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona, Moscow, Milan, Saint Petersburg, Paris, London and New York.

I have photographed theatres such as the Liceo in Barcelona, the Mariinski in Saint Petersburg, the Albéniz and the María Guerrero in Madrid, the Garnier and Bastille opera in Paris, the Royal Opera House and Royal Festival Hall in London, and finally the Dal Verme, and the Manzoni (also known as the) Odeon Cinema in Milan, and Broadway theatres among others.

In the theaters mentioned, I photographed from the actor’s view (from the stage towards the seats and from the audience’s perspective (from the seats towards the stage.
