Wozzeck - Opéra de Nantes

Ponctuelle contributed to the lighting design of Wozzeck, Alban Berg’s opera, staged at the Opéra de Nantes in 2013. Lighting by Philippe Mombellet.

In this dark and intense work, the light follows the dramatic tension and sets the rhythm of the narrative, in dialogue with the staging.
