You, Nature!
25.07 — 26.07.2023
Description
The active theatre company C. for Circus’ new production You, Nature! is a special theatre and music performance based on Chinese writer Yan Lianke’s novel The Years, Months, Days. It talks about a year when draught seemed to never end. From morning to evening, an old man known as the Elder, the story’s central figure, can almost hear his hair burning. A terrible draught forces the inhabitants of a remote mountainous village to flee – all but this old man and a blind dog, who could not withstand the exhausting journey across the mountains in search of food and water. The Elder is keeping watch over a single ear of corn that has grown in the infertile land. Devoted to it and to the hope it gives him, every single day he fights against defeat, every single day he wins a victory over death. A stubborn struggle for survival until the final dramatic climax, when one of them must sacrifice himself so that the other one can survive and keep the corn ear alive. A story about the power of life!
