Strade Maestre/ Everything burns

Every performance by the Rimini-based Motus is a small great epiphany, a theatrical revelation. "Everything Burns" is a rewriting of Euripides' "Trojan Women" through the words of Jean Paul Sartre, Judith Butler, Ernesto de Martino, Edoardo Viveiros de Castro, NoViolet Bulawayo, Donna Haraway. It investigates the condition of 'the end' in tragedy, which is inextricably linked to the reality of the present time, marked by pandemic and mourning. "I mourn for the children who died in the war, for the women made slaves, for the lost freedom". Silvia Calderoni as Hecuba utters these words, interwoven with RYF's music and lyrics. Her lament spreads across that noir Mediterranean, theatre of wars, conquests, migrations and diasporas. It is Hecuba, Cassandra, Polyxena, Andromache, Helena, Astianatte who give voice to the fragile, the helpless, the exposed, the vulnerable. What lives matter? What makes a life worthy of mourning? Through pain, the protagonists of the tragedy process the violence they have suffered and transform themselves. Metamorphosis opens up other possibilities and outlines the world to come, because the end of the world is but the end of a world.
