Night on Earth

A traveller along with her aids arrive at an unknown, destroyed land, which is however full of hidden traces from its previous “inhabitants”. The numerous accounts and testimonies found in this place (some are read, others are sung, and others are reproduced by machines) reveal the causes that have shaped today’s reality. The performance Night on Earth directed by Alexandros Koen is a suspenseful thriller, during which the travellers (with the help of audience members) must gather as much evidence as possible.

From the Bible to the Romantics, for two whole millennia, the relationship of Man with Nature has been at the heart of poetic creation. Man is a child of Nature: he cannot exist but on Nature’s terms. Excerpts from the Bible and works of William Blake, Samuel Coleridge, Goethe, Novalis, Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Solomos, and Sikelianos – revolving around Byron’s great apocalyptic poem “Darkness” – are all selectively bound together and complete each other.
