3rd time NYIT Award Nominee in 2015 for "Night" Outstanding Innovative Design!

Laia Cabrera, Isabelle Duverger nominated for Outstanding Innovative Design (Projection Design) for the 3rd consecutive time for The New Stage Theatre Company's production of Night at the New York Innovative Theater Awards 2015. 



Night by Charles L. Mee receives 6 IT Award nominations! Outstanding Performance Art Production, Outstanding Director (Ildiko Nemeth), Outstanding Choreography/Movement (Ildiko Nemeth), Outstanding Lighting Design (Federico Restrepo), Outstanding Innovative Design (Laia Cabrera, Isabelle Duverger, Ildiko Nemeth), Outstanding Actor in a Lead Role (Chris Tanner)



Night at the Theater for the New City - From April 24 to May 10, 2015

Multimedia Theater Play NIGHT with projection design, video art and animations by Spanish filmmaker and videoartist Laia Cabrera in collaboration with French projection designer and animator Isabelle Duverger. 

Inspired by Seneca's Thyestes, "Night (Thyestes 2.0)" combines sections of the classic tale with an equally dark modern vision. A whirlwind of vivid scenes bridges the torture, murder and cannibalism dogging ill-fated Tantalus to modern plagues both frightening and banal, from war crimes to YouTube vapidity. This world premiere performance brings a bold mix of standout projection design and visuals, choreography, costuming, lighting and sound to Mee’s rhapsodic vision, resulting in a night of wonderfully disorienting theatre.

Directed by Ildiko Nemeth in collaboration with:
Laia Cabrera and Isabelle Duverger - Video and Projection Design
Federico Restrepo - Lighting
Egle Paulauskaite - Costume
Galway McCullough - Fight Choreography
Jon Gilbert Leavitt - Sound Engineering

With Beth Dodye Bass*, Dana Boll, Adam Boncz, Kaylin Lee Clinton, Sofia O.C. , Catherine Correa, Geraldine Dulex, Markus Hirnigel*, Brian Linden*, Galway McCullough*, Brandon Olson*, Jeanne Lauren Smith, and Chris Tanner.

Ronensbourgh Multimedia Theater Play, 2015



Ronensbourgh | May 21 to June 7, 2015 | IATI Theater
Written by Beatriz Cabur - Directed by Ignacio García-Bustelo
A place—a proposed utopian solution to all society’s problems.
The Heiber family lives in a world that’s rapidly crumbling, plagued by flawed and outdated social and political models. Meanwhile a group of aristocrats, led by Helmut Ronen, is creating the perfect city as the answer to all society’s problems: RONENSBOURGH.
Ronensbourgh is a very contemporary and highly experimental piece, written in a Heiner Müller’s style (no stage directions. No formatting. SOME CAPITAL LETTERS THAT SEEM RANDOM BUT THEY’RE NOT). The play possesses relevant questions about identity, society and home; about the conception of those ideas, and the dislodging of the very things our society holds as important.

Cast: Claudio Bandini - Mateo Franco - Sara Gozalo - Begonya Plaza - Francisco Reyes

March 2015: Alexandra Mor Short Documentary

Film Created by Laia Cabrera & Co.
Directed by Laia Cabrera
Assistant Director & Animator Isabelle Duverger


Haute Jewelry Designer Alexandra Mor Story & Inspiration

Haute joaillerie designer Alexandra Mor is an embodiment of the modern women. The superior craftsmanship of her limited-edition and one-of-a-kind collections showcase an attention to detail and design sensibility typically found amongst Place Vendôme jewelers.

Alexandra, born into a family of french couturiers, grew up in Israel’s multicultural mélange, and was exposed to the concept of handcrafted design at a young age by her French couturier mother. Always drawn toward the creative realm, Alexandra initially pursued a career as a filmmaker. In 2004, she found her passion while taking jewelry bench classes in New York City’s Jewelry District and after developing her own unique brand voice and designs aesthetics, have launched her first collection at Phillips de Pury in 2010.

A decade later, Alexandra Mor has opened her first dedicated salon at Dorfman Jewelers in Boston and will soon offer her work at New York’s iconic retailer, Bergdorf Goodman.
