About this exposition

The Renaissance and Baroque were periods of cultural effervescence in Europe, characterised by a flowering of music, literature, visual arts and also theatre. As these art forms evolved, there was a constant crossover of influences and collaborations, resulting in a unique interplay between them. Music and theatre are two forms of artistic expression that have accompanied us throughout history. These two disciplines have coexisted and intertwined in fascinating ways over the years. In this research I want to explore in an intimate way the connection that can exist between both disciplines and the relationship that can be created between a specific repertoire, in this case a selection of pieces from the 16th and 17th century, and a story that will be created from the affections that the selected pieces evoke and that will later be theatricalised and represented through the musicians by specific characters. All this will be done with the aim of being able to transmit to the audience the affections emanating from the selected pieces in a more direct way, using music and its performers as an emotional vehicle to understand the plot. It will also help us to discover that the music of these centuries does not only serve as a mere sound complement in theatrical performances, but can play a fundamental role in the creation of atmospheres, as well as how it can play a crucial role in the characterisation of characters and also how all this helps favourably to transmit emotions on stage and to establish a stronger relationship between the audience and the performers.
