The Theatre of Tectonic Veils hides and reveals the backstage nature of everyday performance on the streets of Seven Dials in Covent Garden London. Its design investigates what can happen when you break the boundary between the public and private spaces of a traditional theatre. By day you see a “tower of theatre” as a dressed scaffold, and by night a scenography emerges that transforms the area into a working stage-set. Veils become tectonic and spatial as actor/spectator boundaries are broken, and the public space performs within a new narrative.
