Progetti Artistici
Holy Scriptures
An aesthetic reflection on the literature of the sacred in the Christian religion will give scenic body to an interpretative project composed of theatrical creations, musical, choreographic, visuals, installative, in close connection with philosophical research, scientific, filmic, social and political, in order to activate a wide field of representation of the present.
In the 2021 Lenz started the project dedicated to the Holy Scriptures with The creation – special project commissioned by the MAECI Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
In the 2022 the research on the sacred texts of Christianity will continue with Numbers, ideally referred to the Book of Numbers as the fourth book of the Old Testament. The numbering of beings, the census that lists and names bodies to be recognized, wayfarers in the desert as witnesses to the trial of pain and redemption, they will be new material for reflection/action on the human being at the time of his greatest crisis and his prospects for survival, at the end of a progressive deterioration of its living space.
In the 2023 e 2024 the arrival point of the research will be represented by theApocalypse and give it Apocalissi Gnostiche as a reflection/action on the unveiling, as a possibility of the truth of things. To then leave, having added to the eternal return of the always the same, a moment of diversity, of change, of revolution in the present of theatrical art.
