premiere
Gaia, the primordial deity of inexhaustible creative power, the personification of the Earth and the ancestral mother of all life, is the protagonist of this new journey into the aesthetic-political theatre of ErosAntEros. Mother of the sky and the sea, of night and day, Gaia is at the centre of this searing lament, a step forward in the Company’s vocal-musical research, which uses a sophisticated video installation to urge the audience not to be indifferent to the past, present and future of our only common home: Gaia, the Earth. In its defence, and in the face of pollution and human exploitation, a group of local citizens and students, sensitive to what seems to be an imminent environmental catastrophe, are also on stage.
In occasion of the event: Round Table “Festival and Green: sustainability for cultural events and live shows”
