The whistleblower Melissa Gordon has disappeared. To find her, private detective Percy, hired by her family has just landed in XXX. The police is also on the search. Meanwhile, the local citizens debate: is she a criminal or a hero?

This crime story is the backdrop to talk about topics such as: feminism, corruption, patterns already present in our society since the Greek mythology. 

The audience could experience the story through the point of view of each character, as they walked their exact steps. Each character were represented by a different media: video walk, audio walk, treasure hunt and a guided tour. 

A former industrial areal was transformed into the mysterious XXXXX city. My concept question when developing the stage and costumes was: “Can scenography and costumes take the role of a performer? Could they become part of the dramaturgic text?”. The stage was composed by 9 rooms many details that would give a clearer idea of the story or of the characters. Since the audience could wander alone through this build up stage, they were invited to really enjoy each space, open every door.

The costumes represented this multilayered storytelling: a judge who can present all the evidences in his thousand pockets dress, a reporter covered in mirrors that can reflect the reality of its journalistic facts, a flowing jellyfish, a walking advertisement tourist guide.
