A Shadow Can See is the audio-visual musictheatre performance by Rotterdam born & bred Gavin-Viano. For his new show he collaborated with video artist Wes Broersen, animator Viktor Adriaansens, music producers Donna Lugassy, Nedda Sou, Sennes & the  percussionists of Ritmo Entertainment.

The story is about the shadow as the main character, that’s pleading for a life of its own. Abstract images from the scenography which will be mirrored through. the artist are being used to bring the shadow to life in a new realm. 

With the help of a Motion Capture Suit, Gavin-Viano’s shadow will be digitalized into a physical form. This all will be combined with live percussion & hard-hitting beats that also will be visualized as one heartbeat.

About Gavin-Viano

In the summer of 2020, Gavin-Viano graduated as a director from the Maastricht Theater Academy. For his graduation performance Ach Mijn Wederhalf, he received the DNA Next Stimuleringsprijs in 2020.

In order to make Dutch theater more accessible he tries to involve communities that do not naturally get a voice. He achieves this by telling non-Western stories, often opting for an anti-white-male-gaze perspective and consciously looking for the intersectionality of his characters. In this way he creates a world in which language, movement and music merge into a whole and where humor forms the cement between the building blocks. 

Gavin-Viano has been associated with Frascati Productions since 2021. With his first Frascati production, he developed Ach Mijn Wederhalf into a trilogy. The second Frascati production Bloodscent was selected for the Dutch Theater Festival.
