Performing in a quarry
Some quarries seem to be made for theatrical performances, including stages and places for audience. Although it is an open air venue the sound and light are mysterious as you are at least 10m below the surface.
We did several informal try outs with more than satisfying results, but to organize a formal public event in a quarry is not easy because of safety and logistics. Once we initiated and co-produced a very ambitious and successful theatre production: the Divina Commedia 2.0. See below for an impression. More information is on the page divina commedia details. Students of Margo Kalse (Holland) did sing to experience the unique acoustics, as did the students of António Carrilho (Portugal) in his Master class recorder.
