Description
“The Blue Planet” is a modern multimedia work that blends the arts of acting, singing and live music with modern technology, using high-definition images that reproduce aspects of reality and illustrate a conversation between God and Noah. Accompanied by music composed by Goran Bregovic, the scenario will lead the audience to a virtual world.
The performance offers a liberal and anachronistic recreation of myth. The mix of languages, including Spanish, English, Italian and French, meanwhile reminds the audience of ancient texts that suggest that Noah’s sons are the progenitors of all peoples of our planet.
This multimedia theatre production is about the great flood and the slow but accelerating destruction of our planet. Noah has built his ark and filled it with animals two by two according to a list given by God. Noah regards himself as unclean and hides with the pigs, which are deemed by God as unclean animals and are not allowed to board the boat. Noah also hides to evade his wife, Joan, the major protagonist of this music-drama, who does not want to board. She refuses to give mankind another chance to destroy the planet and to repeat mistakes. Joan’s children beg her to join them onboard. They convince her that they will do better in the future.
God keeps watching like a silent angel – on one hand keeping a promise not to flood again while on the other witnessing how the people cope with the flood – and whispers the mantra “God Makes, Man Breaks”. Joan eventually boards the ark, as she has no choice. Her love for her children makes her believe that there must be hope, and that the next generation can turn the tide.
