lightparticles. is a performance about light. With light. By light. 'light particles.' translates to 'particles of light'. According to the theory of relativity, the local time of light particles stands still. Stop time for a moment and look at what beauty is around you, what beauty radiates light.

It is a wordless performance in which light plays the leading role. In which the story is told through silence, movement, light and shadow. Adolphe Appia put it as follows in 1899: “What the score is for the music, that is in the domain of theater the light.” Light chooses what is visible, reveals the space or leaves it in darkness, creates shadows and tension. A performance that gives a glimpse of how the magic of theater is created.
