ITALIAN PREMIERE
In Paradise Lost, John Milton tells the story of Adam and Eve’s expulsion from Eden. This fall is not only a loss, but also a space for reflection on freedom, the nature of sin, and the complexity of good and evil.
As citizens of the contemporary world, we are invited to transmit signals of beauty and meaning, even within the fragility of the present.
The performance is experienced through headphones, immersed in the evocative setting of the church square. Marco Sgrosso’s voice comes from the bell tower, like an echo suspended between sky and earth. Poetry becomes an antenna: it captures the world and returns it as a possibility of beauty and reconciliation.
IN SHORT
A headphone-based performance that reinterprets Milton’s Paradise Lost. Spoken from the church bell tower, the text transforms the expulsion from Eden into a reflection on freedom.
By Roberto Latini
With Marco Sgrosso
Music and sound design Gianluca Misiti
