Description

New production.

About misa de batalla y la misa pro defunctis by Joan Cererols.

The scenic proposal Extinción presents a visual dramatization of these works using a staging device of filming in real time: a poetic and visual discourse with    this music via a dramaturgy that unfolds with the use of video cameras, models, objects and live performance filming. Extinción is also a reflection about Extractivism in the 21st century: a productive model of development based on the devastation of the ecosystem where some of the most terrible examples can be found in the coltan mines of the Congo, the burning of natural gas from oil drilling in the ecuadorian Amazonía, the mono-crop cultivation of soybean in the Brazilian savanna “Cerrado”, massive mining in Chile and fracking in the Argentine Patagonia.
