Vanessa tells the story of a woman surrounded by memories and waiting for her former lover to return. As she waits, she can’t bear the passing of time and covers all the mirrors. In our production, the mirror was an opening to the outside world. The different carpets where reflected in the mirror, allowing the audience toperceive what was going through Vanessa’s mind while at the same time seeing the other reality on the static set.
