El Bosque de los Ciclos Infinitos

Scenography — Model Building Process · 2025

The design process of the model was developed as a spatial interpretation of Ismael Serrano's song Caperucita, exploring the journey of the protagonist not only as a physical path, but as an emotional and psychological transformation. The scenography was conceived as an inner landscape: a symbolic forest where each material and surface reflects different aspects of Caperucita's experience, from vulnerability and memory to fear and transformation. The model became a space in constant change, where light, movement, and materiality interact to reveal new layers of meaning. Reflective surfaces were explored through folding, shaping, and sanding techniques, creating fragmented reflections that changed with the movement of the platform. These reflections were projected onto the cyclorama, transforming the space and reinforcing the idea of a shifting, unstable inner world. The platforms combine translucent vegetal paper textures, suggesting fragility and ephemerality, with black finished steps that create a contrast between innocence and the darker forces shaping the character's journey. The vertical structures were created using braided and hand-shaped metal wire, evoking the branches and roots of a forest that both protects and confines. The movement of the platform activated the relationship between light, reflection, and projection, turning the cyclorama into an extension of Caperucita's inner world, where images of birds and flowers could appear as symbols of freedom, memory, and fleeting beauty.
