* A co-production with Théâtre de Liège, As Palavras - CIE
The Mediterranean Sea, like any other sea, connects and divides, gives life and brings death. From one shore to another, between Europe, Asia and Africa and further, much further through the Strait of Gibraltar, waves of merchants, warriors, prisoners and refugees searching for prey, riches, a new life or new worlds have been coming for centuries. The winds of history determine their rhythm and the sea, wild and unpredictable, becomes salvation to some and a grave to others. The curse of the eternal changes and tragedies of the quivering Mediterranean territory is poignantly depicted by Claudio Bernardo’s choreography, together with the moving interpretation of the fragments of ancient Greek tragedy translated and dramaturgically adapted by Lada Kaštelan, original music score by Tamara Obrovac powerfully interpreted by the CNT Ballet choir.
