 A journey through magnificent sets, productions of world-famous works, emotion, and light. The next lecture in the Binaries series, curated by ATMOSFERA Mag, is scheduled for Thursday, October 15—an event designed to showcase key figures in the world of lighting, and one that this time welcomes maestro Marco Filibeck.

Best known for his pivotal role at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala, which he joined in 1985, he has coordinated and designed lighting for productions across the globe, while also working on art events, fashion shows, and photography exhibitions.

During the event, Marco Filibeck will explore his long-standing collaboration with Àlex Ollé, a director of the Catalan theater group La Fura dels Baus, with whom he has worked on a dozen opera productions and, last summer, on the staging of the tragedy I Persiani at the Greek Theater of Syracuse.

 Admission is free upon registration on the Luma platform; the lecture will be in Italian with live English subtitles. Seats are limited and filling up quickly. Registration will close as soon as maximum capacity is reached.

 Before the event, we invite you to (re)read our interview with Marco Filibeck, in which he shared his vision of light and its expressive importance:

“Over the past three decades, light has become an important and increasingly central expressive tool in theatrical productions, because it supports a directorial and dramaturgical narrative that, through its language—which is not only emotional or aesthetic—can also become conceptual. It wasn’t always this way. When I started around 1980, the technology wasn’t even comparable to what we have today; expectations were different and commensurate with the state of the art. Today, a great deal is demanded of light as a material, and the role of the lighting designer has been redefined because they must use technologies that are constantly evolving. The work has become much more stimulating but also much more complex.”

Do you have a project to share?

Atmosfera is an open space for dialogue.  If light plays a key role in your research or a specific project, we’re ready to listen. We feature lighting design projects, art installations, photography series, and stories that explore the narrative potential of light.
