Skyline, it's up there! is a visual theater choreography of 50 minutes duration.You'll witness a voyage; from ground to sky, from black and white to color and from tragedy till comedy.

The set design consists in two big beams hanging up in the space and a backdrop showing how we rise up and up and up (in space and color!). The characters, iron workers, will climb from the floor - a black and white present- between the buildings and up to the sky - an utopian future of northern light color-This creation is inspired in the series of photographs by Charles C. Ebbets (Copyright Bettman Archives, Corbis Corp.), showing the construction of GE building, the 30th of Rockefeller Plaza. That well-known picture of the workers sitting on the beam, having lunch ignoring the vertigo.

 

 

Its iconography has a huge echo in the global social imaginary, as it pictures the troubles of the contemporary occidental society in its beginnings; that is something we can easily identify with our current crisis situation. We create from that image and real historic references to imagine the stories of those characters; how they lived, got together and dealt with the daily vertigo of not knowing if you'll make it to get out alive...

Skyline is a metaphor of the current historical moment; that insists in the role of people in society as an agent of change for dealing with the conflicts.
