A tribute to Ingmar Bergman.
Ingmar Bergman was born on July 14, 1918. Few directors were able to find depth inside the human being. His nightmares inspired many of his films, in which space and time fade away from reality. Bergman was mostly obsessed with the inability to communicate, religion and death. In the middle of the night, - a spectacle that proposes to approach the existentialist theme of the director and filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. It is also a play about the process of creation in an incessant search for oneself and others. Seven performers meet in order to share their research on the director's work; and either individually or collectively they create scenes that may take part of a future show. Around a table / island, they are close in their thoughts... and whispers, immerse in computers, books, videos. Everything is born from this “huis clos” of creation: the sound, the light, the images, actions and contradictions: dramas, nightmares and ghosts. The acting layers accumulate, creating a dramatic plot where the lie is mixed with the truth of the facts. In the middle of the night is a deep homage to Ingmar Bergman, to the actors in his films and to the performers of this Company.
