THE CREATION

THE CREATION

GENESI Sacre Scripture Paradiso lost – Horizon of events
There was a time, before the start of time? 

“He approached nothing, But it has never been nothing, There has never been a big bang who produced something from nothing. It seems so only from a human perspective ". Stephen W. Hawking 

«Time does not exist, It is only a dimension of the soul. The past does not exist as it is no longer, The future does not exist as it still has to be, And the present is only a non -existent moment of separation between past and future ". Sant'Agostino 

"Often, When they are in struggle with obstacles of all kinds, When the forces decline and it became difficult for me to persevere in the street undertaken, a secret feeling whispers me: There are so few happy and happy men down here, Everywhere it is pain and anguish; Perhaps your work can sometimes be a source to which those who are oppressed by anguish can draw for a moment ". Franz Joseph Haydn

The strong visual impact, Almost cinematic of Haydn's Die Schöpfung score, than between recitatives, arie, Oil pieces and leads to original orchestral explosions, when appearing of the first light, to the precise description of nature and animals, To the poetic duets amorous of Adam and Eva until the final thanks to God, All this linguistic chaos, including the Beethovenian powerful effects and the Mozartian refinements makes Haydn's "creation" an absolutely contemporary work. The figure – the archangels, Adamo and Eva – they are carriers of countless linguistic stimuli. On the other hand, the themes developed are still present, Precisely because timeless, in contemporary art and culture.

Relate the limit of the "human perspective", the human dimension of time and the latest scientific research on the origin of the universe, or universes, as well as on the appearance of the first man and the first woman on earth is a dramaturgical topic of considerable interest and complexity. Only, like scientific and theological research, We think that artistic research can help develop new horizons of knowledge, of profound intellectual experience both through the experience of the concrete act and through the putting in music of the singing.

As well as crossing the biblical sequence of Genesis to Adam and Eva and at the same time reflecting it in the poetic alter ego of Paradise Lost of Milton, With the gaze and strategy of Satáno for the time to come it becomes an accelerator of the dramatic dynamic – with its angels in the middle of hell, not in the center of the world because the sky and the earth were not yet there, But in a place of darkness called chaos –  Therefore a double chaos that, As two rotating black holes collide in a cosmic duel of infinite power, They give birth to a rotating abyss as big as billions of only.

To then stop the time, Give it together with the space, on the horizon of events.

A worthy of verses, of repetitions, of lamentations, of linear and labyrinthine directions with only body tools, of music, images. From free will to the sin of origin, Haydn's oratory breaks down into a granular structure that projected into the scenic space as fragments of atoms, pieces of stars and planets not yet composed, In a sound expansion movement like a cosmic wave that we still do not hear but that we start to glimpse.

Create is verb that belongs to art, where everything is created from the void that everything contains, where each human act hooks to thought and together they project into the space of infinite signs variables of meaning and remote relationships.

The only 'spacetime', For the theater, This is what starts and ends with the time of representation, three -dimensional and geometrically corporeal. It can contain the wealth of other worlds as the origin of everything, through images and music as well as thoughts, feelings, refractions. The gravity that holds the actors with the feet on the ground counterbalances the 'without a' without words, movements, of symbols.

The creation of everything, From linear to fall to that insignificant deviation of only one of the infinite atoms that changes things, the present and the future, Implode in a dramaturgy that attracts biblical legends to itself, Baroque poems, mathematical formulas in a sequence of events that aims to demonstrate different possibilities, the freedom of the error, the singularity of creating and recreating the world, of Big Bang in Big Bang in infinity.

All gravity holds, Even time implodes in everyone's memory, From now on up to the first memory. It can be this reverse direction to conduct the dramaturgical game, A text at the meeting, from the end at the beginning, From now until the first almost imperceptible listening to a voice, of a noise, of a sound. By Adam and Eva sink to the point from which everything begins, and from there to the unknowing irrelevant for science, At least for now.

And the verses fall, they collide with other verses, Images, actions, Singing and sound by recreating a chaotic overall movement, imprisoned in the time of the rite that recreates creation. 

Imagoturgy of creation

The images report a time that implodes, Like the angel who looks at us, falling back or falling upwards, like the galaxies that are shown as they were a time of billions of years ago, Like a reversal of the linearity that proceeds towards the appearance of the first face, from the chaos of the first day.

First the face, then a reversal dawn that has already sunset, The first filiform matter, The first plants, The first vertebrates, The life that begins to fly, The creation of the first man and the first woman, The flight of the blessed angels and that of the fallen angels.

Then the return, the impact in the amniotic liquid, Inside a warm and nutritious belly of a maternal space that suits everything, reduce, concentra. Up to that black point, always present in every macro or microcosm of falling atoms, In every vital instant, up to the incalculable dimension before the new beginning. Of new universes.

These are already present images, already born, between the million billions of brain synapses, as among the similar billions of galaxies and stars of the universe, interconnected and rapid, Overlapping escaped sequences that swallow the live act of singing and word.

Crystal images inside a bubble of meaning, Inside a beginning of all the beginnings, like a contemporary Rosebud Wellsian of infinite memory.

The double transparent and semicircular veil of the scene houses the image, it contains it and the curve like it spacetime It bends to the mass of the bodies, in the four -dimensional scene where the time floats between a before and after, and together matter and image float between past and present. 

The instant of the snapshot. To the flashes, the flash of light and then the matter in proud that comes out of its wrapping.

Chemical, in action with light and temperature, makes the form impressed on the sensitive level grow, He reveals it in a crescendo of crystal clear pigments and thermal process.

In an instant the light introduces the virtual, through the grilled hole that holds and directs access, The form hidden in the dark magma of the revealing solution.

Instantaneous of the instant, the real split and reappears alchemical and unique, on the virtual mirror. The time first imprisoned, it spreads on the paper together with the reagent, linked its end, and turning off drying the image ascends from the real world. 

Limatura of the nails, stardust. These billions of billions of atoms are intergalactic matter, It comes from cosmic distances of thousands of light years and finally merged, reunited, tablet from its own gravity. The stars are within us, Nitrogen in DNA, Football in the teeth, iron in the blood, the compact nail keratin. Limata nail powder is human matter and cosmic matter, like the powder of the bodies destined to close the circle of mortal time, dust powder, dust dust.

This is not the case, It is not so before the beginning?

The mystery of the "time before the beginning of the time" questioned the limit of human perspective in a wasting of verses, repetitions and complaints that immerse the viewer in a primordial broth in which ancestral nostalgia merge, Divine struggle, Contemporary anxieties and cosmic implosions.

.

A visionary show, from hypnotic power, A flow of consciousness together with an individual and universal.

Valeria Ottolenghi, Journal of Parma

Step by step, Creation evokes, In a dimension sometimes of indistinction panica, the "courtship" of the snake, the birth of non -animated and animated nature, finally of the man and the woman who as well, actually, they are the center and root of everything. The splendor of light is now accomplished, Bi-polarity and duality have left traces that can be followed or "sown" or "exterminated": "It will be" of the time what will "do" of it. (more)
