Prometeus and the Ignis Fatuus

A play, movement theatre performance with stilts, dance and fireworks.

The fascination of fire comes from far away: Is in this way that Prometeo was born, victim of Gods’s power which he himself helped to lift up when the chaos of Crono was beaten or may be guilty of not recognizing a new order created with his help?. The theft of fire makes a new dramma begin. A dramma where the victims are the human beings, destinated to succumb as a consequence of this new instrument given by Prometeo. They become, unwittingly, the field of a superior fight. They are the real sacrificial victims of this dramma once that Prometeo will be reduced to reason and has returned fire . Human beings can only return to earth’s bosom after the madness and the abuses in the name of a new reason.
