Gilles Pollak

Gilles Pollak works as a lighting designer, scenographer and theatre maker with various companies in the Netherlands and Belgium. In lightparticles inc, Gilles searches for a theatre of light. Light reveals space or just leaves it in the dark, creates shadows and tension. Armed with just a suitcase full of lamps, he conjures up a whole world of imagination. The 'Barak van Bartel' becomes the setting of a visual, wordless avant-premiere in which light changes tell the story. Different kinds of lamps are given a special relationship in a performance about light. With light. By light.
