‘Fernando Melo bisects the stage with a two-way mirror, creating several simmering versions of reality… Music, lighting and movement achieve a mesmerising synchronicity’
The Guardian
Fernando Melo is a choreographer, director and designer whose work spans contemporary dance and opera. Through movement and stage design, he creates powerful visual worlds that defy gravity and challenge our perception of what the human body can do.
‘I start with a huge rock, made up of many scenes and ideas. Then I sculpt it, removing everything that is not coherent, only keeping the most important, beautiful jewels’
