A man made of steel

Contrapiento Group presents a performance with original music compositions, songs and contamporary dance, based on the children’s book A Man of steel by the awarded Cypriot author, Nikos Antoniou. Mark, a small boy, has discovered a magical way to travel at night: his school bag becomes a flying vehicle that takes him wherever he wants. One night he visits a planet and meets two strange creatures made of steel, Cen and Epi. The creatures head towards a city, where Cen has to fulfil a mission, that greatly upsets Mark once he learns of it. Though he is made of steel, since he has two legs, two arms and two eyes, Cen believes he is human. But is the appearance what defines a human or is it something else? In this unique space adventure theatrical performance, we will explore what really makes us human: care, mutual assistance, justice.
