01. El estado del diseño.
Carla Ledesma Olivera
Como casi todo en la vida, el diseño encarna, bajo mi percepción, una dualidad entre dos de sus características; las de liquidez y solidez. Esta dualidad podría percibirse como virtud o como defecto, de lo que desconfío, porque para todo aquello que colinda o forma parte de lo artístico, como podría hacerlo el diseño, el relativismo es peligroso; pues impide el acuerdo y el avance.
Al tratar de explicar a alguien cercano qué era esto del diseño y por qué lo encontraba atractivo como para querer dedicarme a ello, incurrí en un esfuerzo por sonar convincente y hacer ver que sabía, o creía saber de lo que estaba hablando, y quise resaltar la cualidad líquida de este.
Orientado a la identidad visual y gráfica, defendí que el diseño nos rodea y que suponía la traducción más inmediata y actual de omnipresencia. Mi interlocutor lo relacionó con asuntos “faranduleros” que sólo interesan a quienes no tienen nada más en lo que fijarse que en “si son o no bonitas unas tarjetas de visita.” ¿Habría algo de cierto en eso si la mayor parte de la población comparte esta definición?
Describí cómo, antes de irme a vivir a Bélgica, mi idea del país que alberga la capital europea, tenía mucho más que ver con lo cosmopolita y con cafés con espuma en forma de corazón, que con la gestión de los refugiados y los intentos de un país en la inclusión de sus inmigrantes. Tras la excitación de los primeros días, que bien parecen unas vacaciones con amigos, aterricé en la realidad de un país más gris, sucio y decadente. Una imagen distante de mi ideal europeo. ¿Google Imágenes me había engañado o sólo estaba decepcionada porque todo era menos instagrameable de lo que imaginé?
Esto sirvió de metáfora a lo que la identidad visual y el diseño pueden lograr por quien se tome el tiempo de aplicarlos a sus intereses, y a su capacidad para conseguir condicionar la percepción acerca de algo a través de los rasgos que nos permiten atribuirle a su identidad y que habitan nuestro imaginario.
La liquidez viene a cuento en tanto que el diseño juega un papel principal en nuestras vidas, incluso en las de aquellos que lo repudian y tachan de elitista y naive. Pues hasta la taza en la que desayunan es diseño y, a no ser que renuncien a la vista y al tacto, están condenados a sufrir las consecuencias de las soluciones gráficas y de la identidad visual.
Empecé a darle vueltas a la solidez viendo la última película de Almodóvar. Madres paralelas me atrapó de una manera distinta al resto de películas del director. Tenía algo distinto, más en la forma que en el contenido, que audiovisualmente me impactó desde la primera escena. A medida que avanzaba el film intentaba descifrar qué era, mientras tanto, lo único que conseguía era reconocer todos los recursos estéticos y argumentales que consolidaban la personalidad del trabajo de Almodóvar: el costumbrismo, la paleta de colores, la contraposición de lo urbano y lo rural y el protagonismo del conflicto interior de una mujer, o de varias. No podía distinguir lo diferente, pero reconocía fácilmente aquello que identificaba a la obra como propia de su autor.
El diseño, que se adapta y evoluciona, solidifica además los conceptos que hacen que una cosa sea lo que es. La identidad visual, cuando está bien construida, deja una huella que perdura y pasa a formar parte del imaginario colectivo de muchos. Puede que ese sea su propósito.
No nos cuesta atribuir un color, forma o movimiento concreto a distintas marcas y firmas gracias a soluciones gráficas que han conseguido solidificar con esto sus rasgos distintivos.
Por su liquidez y capacidad de compactarse, el diseño es algo común a todos los seres humanos y objetos inanimados. “Que las cosas duren material y formalmente es sostenibilidad”. (Philippe Starck, 2022). El diseñador francés recoge en esta frase lo que para mi ilustra esta dualidad, lograr algo líquido como la sostenibilidad a través de la solidez de la perdurabilidad.

by Macey Levin
The Berkshire Theatre Group’s world premiere production of Kathleen Clark’s What We May Be has a few problems, the major one being the script itself. Clark, the author of the highly regarded Southern Comforts and Secrets of a Soccer Mom, has thrown together a script that is more superficial than fully realized.
A small community theatre in Hill, New Jersey, is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary but has been informed that their lease is not being renewed. This particular evening they are presenting a series of four one-act plays for which the audience has voted. The majority of What We May Be is those plays which are truly insubstantial. Though there are backstage scenes interspersed we learn very little about any of the characters preventing the audience from developing a relationship with them. All we know in passing is that Hal Polick (Count Stovall), one of the actors, is a cardiologist and that Glen Geer (Carson Elrod), president of the organization, lives alone. We can tell through the ages of the cast members how long they have been involved in theatre. That’s not enough.
The plays, one of which is “Let’s Live a Little,” a title of one of Ms. Clark’s full-length plays, the others being “Seeing is Believing,” “The Writer’s Conference,” and “Emma’s Journey,” are more skits or short sitcoms rather than full works, though within a 90-minute production you can’t develop 4 one-act plays; they could have more substance, however, if they were further explored.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
The cast works hard though the acting sometimes seems to be labored rather than instinctive. Each of them plays a theatre company member plus parts in the various plays. Due to the relative brevity of each play the characters cannot be developed. Penny Fuller as Lucinda Royal Scott is the self-appointed doyenne of the company who casts herself in each show. She does yeoman work in her five roles with the assorted characterizations. The other actors – Elrod, Stovall, Carla Duren, Samantha Hill and Dee Hoty also bring credibility to their respective portrayals.
Randall Parsons’ set reveals the backstage areas of the Fitzpatrick creating the environment for the offstage squabbles and ultimate camaraderie. The four plays are suggested by several set pieces… tables, chairs, etc. The lighting by Alan C. Edwards complements the tone of the plays and focuses attention on specific playing areas. Laura Churba’s costumes are indicative of the various characters’ personalities.
Gregg Edelman’s direction works for the dialogue scenes but some of his staging, especially at the opening, is static and not balanced. Though advertised as a comedy the hearty laughs are very few and very far between. Perhaps his actors are trying too hard. He, too, seems to be handicapped by the script.
Ms. Clark should give some consideration to expanding one or two of the playlets and retire the remaining script.
What We May Be by Kathleen Clark; Directed by Gregg Edelman; Cast: Carla Duren (Colleen Haran) Carson Elrod (Glen Geer) Penny Fuller (Lucinda Royal Scott) Samantha Hill (Summer Oliver) Dee Hoty (Joan Stem) Count Stovall (Hal Polick); Scenic Designer: Randall Parsons; Costume Designer: Laurie Churba; Lighting Designer: Alan C. Edwards; Resident Composer/Sound Designer: Scott Killian; Stage Manager: Jason Weixelman; Running time: 90 minutes; no intermission; From 8/8/19; Closing 8/31/19; Berkshire Theatre Group Fitzpatrick Main Stage, Stockbridge, MA, www.berkshiretheatregroup.org or 413-997-4444

Synopsis:
When his brother disappears, mentally disabled Langston Bellows is left without a protector in Brooklyn’s housing projects. Now under the control of his abusive mother…
