The manifesto of the production: to manufacture desires, images and thoughts. In Luigi Pirandello’s Giganti della montagna, an archaic dream where the elements of life are transfigured into the theatrical rhythm of visions, the characters ask where the truth lies. And it is the wizard Cotrone who answers them: “It is in the magic of the theatre.” Because the wizard is an illusionist, he knows the power of narrative and its contemporary evolution takes into consideration the “new scenario of technological change, fed by enlarged reality and interactive narrative”: these are the words of Marcel.lì Antùnez Roca, the founder of the Fura dels Baus and inventor of ‘Systematurgy’, a working method based on interactive drama. Cotrone blends different genres (theatre, dance, music, visual arts, cartoons) and language with a high technological density, in a single form. Software developed for this project makes it possible to manage and interact with devices and robots, lighting, images, music and sound.
