Del ultramarino medieval a Avatar<\/em>, una breve historia cultural sobre c\u00f3mo el azul pas\u00f3 de pigmento sagrado a lenguaje visual del cine contempor\u00e1neo.<\/h3>\n

En t\u00e9rminos generales, el color es una fuerza que influye directamente en el alma. El color es el teclado; los ojos son los martillos; el alma es el piano con muchas cuerdas. El artista es la mano que toca, presionando una tecla u otra para provocar vibraciones en el alma. \u2014Wassily Kandinski<\/strong> (1911)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Esta forma casi sinest\u00e9sica de entender el fen\u00f3meno del color \u2014y c\u00f3mo nos afecta de maneras distintas\u2014 ayuda a comprender la complejidad de la creaci\u00f3n art\u00edstica cuando el uso del color es consciente y deliberado. M\u00e1s all\u00e1 de su dimensi\u00f3n f\u00edsica, el color es tambi\u00e9n una experiencia emocional.<\/p>\n

Por ejemplo, el amarillo suele asociarse con la alegr\u00eda o la luz; el rojo con el peligro o la pasi\u00f3n; el verde puede evocar lo t\u00f3xico, pero tambi\u00e9n el equilibrio y la naturaleza. Cada color parece encarnar un peque\u00f1o repertorio de sensaciones culturales y afectivas.<\/p>\n

Ahora bien, \u00bfa d\u00f3nde nos lleva el azul<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Pocas tonalidades ilustran mejor la ambig\u00fcedad crom\u00e1tica que el azul. A medio camino entre lo perceptivo y lo simb\u00f3lico, el azul ha sido hist\u00f3ricamente un color dif\u00edcil de fijar en una \u00fanica definici\u00f3n. Durante siglos fue uno de los pigmentos m\u00e1s raros y caros de la pintura europea, asociado a materiales preciosos como el lapisl\u00e1zuli y reservado a figuras de especial importancia dentro de la composici\u00f3n pict\u00f3rica. Sin embargo, al mismo tiempo fue adquiriendo un significado cultural m\u00e1s amplio: el azul del cielo, del mar o del horizonte empez\u00f3 a representar aquello que se encuentra m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del alcance humano.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Del ultramarino medieval al simbolismo renacentista<\/strong><\/h4>\n

El prestigio cultural del azul ha ido in crescendo<\/em> a lo largo de la historia. En la Antig\u00fcedad cl\u00e1sica, griegos y romanos no lo consideraban un color particularmente noble. De hecho, muchas veces se asociaba con los pueblos del norte de Europa \u2014los llamados \u00abb\u00e1rbaros\u00bb\u2014 que, seg\u00fan las fuentes romanas, te\u00f1\u00edan su piel o su cabello con pigmentos azulados obtenidos de plantas como el glasto. Para los romanos, ese azul, lejos de evocar espiritualidad o trascendencia, les provocaba algo m\u00e1s cercano a lo salvaje, lo extranjero o lo primitivo.<\/p>\n

La historia cultural del azul es, en ese sentido, una historia de transformaci\u00f3n. El color que en la Antig\u00fcedad<\/strong> pod\u00eda asociarse con lo b\u00e1rbaro terminar\u00eda convirti\u00e9ndose, siglos m\u00e1s tarde, en uno de los pigmentos m\u00e1s prestigiosos del arte europeo.<\/p>\n

En la pintura medieval y renacentista<\/strong>, el azul m\u00e1s intenso \u2014el ultramarino\u2014 se obten\u00eda a partir del lapisl\u00e1zuli, una piedra semipreciosa extra\u00edda principalmente en las minas de Afganist\u00e1n y transportada a Europa a trav\u00e9s de largas rutas comerciales. El pigmento era tan costoso que su uso se reservaba para figuras especialmente importantes dentro de una composici\u00f3n. Por eso aparece con frecuencia en los mantos de la Virgen o en escenas sagradas, como demostraci\u00f3n de valor material y simb\u00f3lico. Pintores como Giotto<\/strong> o m\u00e1s tarde Johannes Vermeer<\/strong> utilizaron ese azul profundo reservado con precisi\u00f3n a los elementos m\u00e1s destacables de sus obras.<\/p>\n

Con el tiempo, el color dej\u00f3 de ser solo un pigmento valioso para convertirse en un s\u00edmbolo cultural m\u00e1s amplio. El azul empez\u00f3 a asociarse con la idea de trascendencia: el cielo como espacio infinito, el horizonte como promesa de lo lejano o el mar como profundidad insondable.<\/p>\n

Del modernismo de Rub\u00e9n Dar\u00edo al Blue Period<\/em> de Picasso<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A finales del siglo XIX, esa dimensi\u00f3n simb\u00f3lica dio un salto hacia la literatura. En 1888, el poeta nicarag\u00fcense Rub\u00e9n Dar\u00edo<\/strong> public\u00f3 Azul\u2026<\/em><\/strong>, un libro que no solo inaugur\u00f3 el modernismo hispanoamericano<\/strong>, sino que convirti\u00f3 el azul en una especie de programa est\u00e9tico. El color aparec\u00eda como met\u00e1fora de un ideal art\u00edstico nuevo: refinado, cosmopolita, lleno de referencias culturales y alejado del realismo cotidiano. Es una constante en todo el libro, como un motivo casi obsesivo: un \u00abni\u00f1o risue\u00f1o, de medias azules\u00bb, unas \u00abpupilas azules y h\u00famedas\u00bb, \u00abun sue\u00f1o azul\u00bb o incluso la figura simb\u00f3lica de un \u00abp\u00e1jaro azul\u00bb. Con Dar\u00edo, el azul se convierte en una atm\u00f3sfera intelectual, una aspiraci\u00f3n est\u00e9tica.<\/p>\n

Pocos a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s, ese mismo color adquirir\u00eda un significado completamente distinto en la pintura moderna<\/strong>. Entre 1901 y 1904, Pablo Picasso<\/strong> desarroll\u00f3 lo que la historia del arte conoce como el Picasso’s Blue Period<\/em><\/strong>. Sus lienzos se poblaron de figuras solitarias: mendigos, ciegos, madres exhaustas, personajes atrapados en interiores fr\u00edos y casi vac\u00edos. El azul, lejos de representar un ideal refinado, era aqu\u00ed un tono emocional dominante, una especie de clima psicol\u00f3gico. En estos cuadros, el mundo parece haberse enfriado.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Si Dar\u00edo hab\u00eda convertido el azul en un s\u00edmbolo de belleza, Picasso lo transform\u00f3 en el color de la introspecci\u00f3n y la melancol\u00eda. En apenas unas d\u00e9cadas, el azul pas\u00f3 de ser el pigmento m\u00e1s precioso del arte europeo a convertirse en un lenguaje emocional de la modernidad.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

El azul en el cine: historia cultural de un color<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Con la aparici\u00f3n del cine \u2014un arte que pronto empez\u00f3 a absorber lenguajes procedentes de la pintura, la literatura o la m\u00fasica\u2014 el uso del azul se traslad\u00f3 a un nuevo territorio visual: la imagen en movimiento. Desde sus primeras exploraciones crom\u00e1ticas, el azul ofrec\u00eda un amplio espectro de posibilidades narrativas. Pod\u00eda sugerir noche, silencio o distancia; pod\u00eda construir atm\u00f3sferas de nostalgia, pero tambi\u00e9n evocar tecnolog\u00eda, futuro o mundos desconocidos.<\/p>\n

En muchas pel\u00edculas contempor\u00e1neas, el azul aparece como una forma de marcar distancia respecto al mundo cotidiano, una tonalidad que separa al espectador de la realidad inmediata y lo introduce en un espacio distinto. Pel\u00edculas como Three Colors: Blue<\/em><\/strong>, donde el color acompa\u00f1a el proceso de duelo y la b\u00fasqueda de libertad de su protagonista, o Blue Is the Warmest Color<\/em><\/strong>, donde el azul se convierte en una presencia constante que evoca melancol\u00eda, deseo y pasi\u00f3n, muestran hasta qu\u00e9 punto el color puede funcionar como un elemento narrativo por s\u00ed mismo.<\/p>\n

Pero pocas obras llevan esta l\u00f3gica tan lejos como Avatar<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span>. En la saga dirigida por James Cameron, el azul \u2014lejos de ser un mero recurso expresivo\u2014 se convierte en el principio visual que organiza todo un universo, con su propia cultura, valores y ecosistema.<\/p>\n

En Pandora<\/strong>, el planeta donde transcurre la historia, el azul aparece en todas partes: en la piel de los Na\u2019vi, en la bioluminiscencia de la flora y en la atm\u00f3sfera nocturna que envuelve los paisajes. Aqu\u00ed el color funciona como una declaraci\u00f3n simb\u00f3lica: marca la alteridad de ese mundo y de quienes lo habitan. Es el mar y el cielo extendi\u00e9ndose sobre los cuerpos y las superficies del planeta, una naturaleza que vive en esa misma tonalidad. Al mismo tiempo, esta paleta crom\u00e1tica recuerda inevitablemente la luz fr\u00eda de las pantallas digitales, insinuando tambi\u00e9n la presencia \u2014y la amenaza\u2014 de la tecnolog\u00eda humana.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hay, adem\u00e1s, una paradoja interesante en esa est\u00e9tica. Pandora se presenta como un ecosistema exuberante, pero su existencia depende de una de las tecnolog\u00edas cinematogr\u00e1ficas m\u00e1s sofisticadas del siglo XXI: captura de movimiento, renderizado digital y sistemas de animaci\u00f3n que transformaron la producci\u00f3n de efectos visuales. El azul termina por ser el color del cine digital.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Avatar<\/em><\/strong> y la inmersi\u00f3n: el azul como entorno<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Si durante siglos el azul fue el color de lo lejano y lo sacro \u2014el cielo, el horizonte o lo divino\u2014, producciones contempor\u00e1neas como Avatar<\/a><\/em><\/strong> <\/span>lo han transformado en un mundo habitable, casi tangible, construyendo un entorno completo a partir de \u00e9l. En este contexto, la experiencia inmersiva inspirada en el universo de la pel\u00edcula lleva esa l\u00f3gica un paso m\u00e1s all\u00e1. En Avatar: The Experience<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/span>, el espectador abandona su papel de observador para convertirse en visitante de un ecosistema visual donde bioluminiscencia, paisajes y criaturas transforman el azul en una atm\u00f3sfera que se puede recorrer y con la que se puede interactuar.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

El azul como fen\u00f3meno cultural y emocional<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Como se\u00f1ala el historiador del arte John Gage <\/strong>(1999), el color puede describirse f\u00edsicamente \u2014en t\u00e9rminos de tono, saturaci\u00f3n o brillo\u2014, pero esa definici\u00f3n apenas explica c\u00f3mo lo experimentamos realmente. Entre la percepci\u00f3n objetiva y la interpretaci\u00f3n cultural se abre un espacio donde cada \u00e9poca proyecta sus propias emociones y s\u00edmbolos. El azul ha ocupado ese espacio de manera particularmente intensa.<\/p>\n

El recorrido cultural del azul ha alcanzado as\u00ed una nueva etapa. De pigmento raro en la pintura medieval a s\u00edmbolo est\u00e9tico en la literatura modernista, de emoci\u00f3n en la pintura de Pablo Picasso<\/strong> a atm\u00f3sfera en el cine contempor\u00e1neo, el azul ha ido ampliando progresivamente su territorio. Hoy, en experiencias inmersivas inspiradas en universos cinematogr\u00e1ficos como Avatar<\/em><\/strong>, deja de ser \u00fanicamente una imagen para convertirse en un entorno que el espectador puede ocupar.<\/p>\n

[et_pb_section][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\"][et_pb_text]<\/p>

We sat down with Valerio Tiberi to talk about creativity and technique in stage lighting.<\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

Theatre (\u2026) is the only place where you can rediscover darkness.<\/p><\/blockquote>

\u00a0<\/p>

Valerio Tiberi is one of the most sought-after lighting designers in the European theatre scene. His professional range spans from opera productions in emblematic venues like the Op\u00e9ra Bastille in Paris and Teatro alla Scala in Milan, to international musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, Cabaret<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, or West Side Story<\/em>; ballet (A Thousand Tales<\/em>, Alice in Wonderland<\/em>, etc.), and haute couture fashion shows for brands like Valentino and Dolce & Gabbana. He has received numerous awards, including the Italian Musical Oscar and Best Lighting Design.<\/p>

His work strikes a natural balance between technical precision and aesthetic sensitivity \u2014which is no small feat. In this interview, he opens up about his creative process, his reflections, and the challenges of lighting vastly different worlds: the theatre stage and the fashion runway.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The challenge of lighting a classic<\/strong><\/h4>

Tiberi recalls that his relationship with LETSGO dates back at least to 2016, when they produced Dirty Dancing<\/em> in Spain for the first time:<\/p>

I came with Federico Bellone; we were the original creative team. Since then, we\u2019ve done many productions [with LETSGO], but without a doubt, the most successful one is The Phantom of the Opera<\/a><\/strong><\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Being part of the first Spanish-language production of one of the most successful musicals in history was a challenge in every sense. Tiberi remembers staging Phantom<\/em> at Teatro Alb\u00e9niz as \u201ca very difficult project.\u201d This is where the intricacies of lighting design come into play, when theory meets the hard ground of practice:<\/p>

The biggest challenge was finding the physical space to place the light. We can all come up with incredible ideas, but my job is to make them into reality.<\/p><\/blockquote>

\"\"<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

It was one of those times when art has to come down to earth: adapting to budgets, technical layouts, timelines, and spatial limitations. Finding the perfect spot for the light, and projecting from there.<\/p>

We used very powerful light sources that could do several things at once: specials, washes, effects. We worked a lot with light tilting to create depth, and we also used smoke, fire... fire is light, too, of course.<\/p><\/blockquote>

An artist\u2019s greatness often lies in their versatility. Cabaret<\/em> <\/a><\/strong>is a whole different beast \u2014but naturally, Tiberi embraces the challenge:<\/p>

In Cabaret<\/em>, the approach is completely different. It\u2019s an immersive production and although we\u2019re still in the creative process, the challenge is once again the same: finding space for the lights. Only this time, the light is exposed. In Phantom<\/em>, it was hidden. The audience didn\u2019t see it. In Cabaret<\/em>, the lighting is part of the set. Everyone will see it.<\/p><\/blockquote>

\u00a0<\/p>

Thinking like the audience<\/strong><\/h4>

Lighting design is not just a technical craft. How do you think about a show when you\u2019re a creative but can\u2019t lose sight of the surgical precision that light demands? Luckily, artistic environments are fertile ground for questioning and transformation.<\/p>

Tiberi is clear: the key is thinking like the audience. In the end, it all comes back to emotion and to human reaction:<\/p>

There\u2019s no one rule. I adapt to each situation. For example, with Cabaret<\/em>, I started from the tools: I knew I needed dynamic, effect-driven lighting. In Phantom<\/em>, it was the opposite: storytelling was my starting point.
But in both cases, I try to keep an artistic mindset from the beginning. I like to think like the audience. The audience doesn\u2019t know if it was hard or easy to achieve an effect; they only know if it moved them. That\u2019s why I try to understand how the human mind reacts to light, to color, to stimuli. And that changes depending on the type of show, the city, the society. It\u2019s not just design: it\u2019s psychology.<\/p><\/blockquote>

\u00a0<\/h4>

\u00a0<\/p>

Rediscovering darkness<\/strong><\/h4>

Tiberi is fascinated by a deeply contemporary concern: in a world blinded by light (computers, phones...) we\u2019ve become unavailable to darkness. We live in a state of overexposure, often without even realizing it.<\/p>

Theatre, like some exhibitions, is the only place where you can rediscover darkness. That\u2019s why I always start from the dark. And from there, I build layers. I begin with the black, then work on the amount of light: the white. And if needed, the colors come after. Contrast is essential. I\u2019m not just talking about aesthetics; I\u2019m talking about creating an intimate experience, something the audience doesn\u2019t find in their daily lives.<\/p><\/blockquote>

\u201cRediscovering darkness (\u2026) an intimate experience.\u201d <\/em>To train the mind to appreciate privacy and reflective environments \u2014so often linked to solitude and twilight\u2014 has become a monumental act. In this sense, framing theatre as a space that revives our most primal thoughts and relationships isn\u2019t nostalgia: it\u2019s a new form of approach, born from our modern context.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Can AI understand theatre?<\/strong><\/h4>

Another hallmark of our times: new technologies and the relationships we forge with them. Tiberi acknowledges that AI has helped him streamline tasks and compare ideas:<\/p>

It\u2019s like a secretary: I feed it images, concepts, and ask it to try out atmospheres. But of course, AI doesn\u2019t know where to physically place a light in the theatre, or which type to use, or when. It helps optimize, expand your thinking, but not solve the essentials.
I mostly use it for dramaturgy. I create mental maps of the show, there, it\u2019s useful. But you need time. If you\u2019re working, you\u2019re working. Still, I think many professions could benefit from AI if used wisely.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Despite growing discussions about whether human creativity can be replaced by algorithms, Tiberi reminds us that some things can\u2019t be substituted. Asked about a moment where lighting was crucial to solving a dramaturgical challenge, he shares:<\/p>

In Houdini<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, in Italy, one of the last scenes was very hard to resolve. We talked for weeks about how to stage it\u2026 and in the end, I did something very simple in the theatre and it worked. Sometimes we overthink things, and the solution is in the simplest move.<\/p><\/blockquote>

\u00a0<\/p>

Being a designer today: the power of active experience<\/strong><\/h4>

In a world where instinct and hands-on experience make all the difference, Tiberi knows exactly what he\u2019d tell a young lighting designer starting out:<\/p>

Nowadays, with all the tech out there, it\u2019s easy to reach an average level. But getting to the top is harder than ever. The key is real experience. You need to be in the theatre, live the space, rehearse, test. Be there at least 300 days a year. And travel. See shows, museums, exhibitions. Not just modern ones, classics too. Go to the Louvre, to MoMA\u2026 Start from what\u2019s tangible. Don\u2019t stay in one country, or one style.<\/p><\/blockquote>

On his experience teaching at the Accademia Teatro alla Scala, he adds:<\/p>

I don\u2019t want to be a traditional professor. I want to speak from experience, what\u2019s worked and what hasn\u2019t. I try to involve my students directly in the theatre. That\u2019s where real learning happens.<\/p><\/blockquote>

\"\"<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Fashion vs. Theatre: two worlds, two timeframes<\/strong><\/h4>

As mentioned earlier, Tiberi\u2019s work isn\u2019t limited to the stage or the classroom. He\u2019s also designed lighting for fashion shows, where atmosphere and storytelling \u2014when present\u2014 play a secondary role. But where does the real difference lie between stage and runway?<\/p>

It\u2019s all about timing. In fashion, preproduction is long, but setup takes just two or three days. And the show lasts, at most, twenty minutes. In that time, you run seven or eight cues: the intro, models entering, the runway, the finale, the exit.
It may not sound like much, but it\u2019s a massive job, with last-minute changes, contradictory decisions\u2026 sometimes the day before.
Above all, it\u2019s about the clothes. You need to light the garments with natural-looking light, without altering colors, minimizing shadows. The image must be clean, sharp. Sure, you work on the mood, but ultimately, it\u2019s about showcasing the clothes. It\u2019s about showing and selling.
And the goal is completely different from theatre. In a fashion show, what matters most is what ends up on Instagram. Lighting has to be tailored for smartphones, not for the human eye. And there\u2019s the live stream too, all the major brands do it now.<\/p><\/blockquote>

\u00a0<\/p>

The emotional impact of light<\/strong><\/h4>

A profession that walks the line between creativity and technicality but that, above all, demands a sensibility centered on the audience. In this sense, theatre stands as a master at evoking the deepest emotions.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

In musical theatre, the show comes together during previews, where you polish the details. The most emotional moment is the premiere, that\u2019s when you can finally sit back and enjoy. Opening night is when you let go and just watch.<\/p><\/blockquote>

The premiere is the first glimpse into the emotional impact a piece can have, not just on the audience, but on the team behind it. In September 2024, Valerio Tiberi returned to Madrid after nearly a year, not because of Phantom<\/em>, but for unrelated reasons. Still, he went back to the Alb\u00e9niz to see the show again:<\/p>

I was crying the whole time. After a year\u2026 it made me cry. When that happens, it\u2019s a good thing.<\/p><\/blockquote>
