Snapshot of Lucy Guerin Inc.'s Structure and Sadness, Staged at Jacob's Pillow
I love it see productions where the theatre troupe has decided to mess with the expected, like when they do a production of Macbeth in modern gothic clothing, or when the director decides they want to put actors in place other than the stage, like the aisles or rafters. Lucy Guerin Inc. does just that with light. I think when most people hear the word spotlight they immediately think of a bright round light centered on a figure/object. However, in Lucy Guerin Inc.'s spotlights aren't like that, instead of two round lights the group has chosen to use two quadrilaterals. It's a really small change from the norm but it really works for this piece, Structure and Sadness, as the dancers only make tight square movements. It's a small deviation but it does a whole lot for the piece.
