Second time NYIT Award Nominee! In 2014 for Cosmicomics Outstanding Innovative Design!

NYIT Award Nominee 2014 for Garden of Delights Outstanding Innovative Design

Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger are New York Innovative Theater Award Nominees for Outstanding Innovative Design (Projection Design, Video-Art and Animations) for The New Stage Theatre Company's production of Cosmicomics at the New York Innovative Theater Awards 2014.

Cosmicomics at Dixon Place - from March 28 to April 19, 2014


Watch video: Cosmicomics theater play - Visuals and Video Installation


Multimedia Theater Play COSMICOMICS with projection design, video art and animations by Spanish filmmaker and videoartist Laia Cabrera in collaboration with French artist Isabelle Duverger. 
Dixon Place and The New Stage Theatre Company present world premiere of Cosmicomics, an original multimedia theatre piece inspired by chapters of Italo Calvino's matchless novel of the same name.
Directed by Ildiko Nemeth, Cosmicomics comprises a series of vignettes involving our narrator, Qfwfq, as he evolves across the history of the universe. From his innocent childhood before the Big Bang, when everything he loved was packed into a single point, we continue on to his love affairs and nostalgic middle age. Along the way we witness wondrous things: the birth of light and color, the identity crises of creatures that move from sea to land, the inner lives of mollusks, and more. Against a cosmic backdrop we recognize fundamentally human experiences in the tales: obsession, neurosis, love and transformation.

Cosmicomics Reviews: Summary on our Projection Design, Videoart & Animation


Photo of the Week, TimeOut New York nº949, April 10-16, 2014 (Photo by Lee Wexler/ImagesforInnovation.org)

"The sight of the modern stage techniques using projected images, videos, colors, lights and shadows helps the viewers to understand the texts from the mouth of the actors."
"The very powerful scenes were those in which the actors were acting out the story live on stage while in the background projections appeared at the same time."
"An interesting, very spectacular show"
- Barát Tamás WBPI / New York, Breuerpress International, April 8, 2014

"There are many gorgeous projections that fill up this space. [...] Federico Restrepo’s lighting is an enormous part of the show, as are the lunar landscapes and other projections designed by Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger." - Ed Malin, nytheater now, March 30, 2014

"I’ve seen a few of New Stage Theatre’s previous shows and have always been struck by the absolutely stunning visual elements" Katy Einerson, Culture Bot, March 31, 2014

"I let my mind float away on a drunken cloud and into the absurd non sequitur universe of Italo Calvino. I found myself delighted. [...] The music is playful and lovely like the shifting backdrops of the universe in freefall, a solitary studio, or a beach party." Aurin Squire, New York Theatre Review, April 8, 2014

"Just saw COSMICOMICS, where Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger have totally outdone themselves. Amazing! You.got.to.see.it!!!" - Laura Turegano, Associate Director, King Juan Carlos Center At NYU, April 4, 2014

"Visually extravagant beyond belief with a great cast, great costumes, and great fun! [...] GO see it!!" Jackie Rudin, Community Organizer, NYC, April 6, 2014
