In piece after piece, Castellucci imposes his vision, restoring
to theatre — unique locus of exacerbated passions —
all its meaning. He questions and pesters, plunging into the
still gaping wounds of humanity to inform us of still more
horrors… The very essence of theatre.

TORCHING TRADITION
The theatrical journey of the Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio is
a unique one, and the work of Romeo Castellucci one of the most
radical adventures in contemporary theatre. After The Orestia,
this time his source of inspiration is none other than the book
of Genesis. A master at exploring the despair of human suffering
and sensory turmoil, here he orchestrates a hallucinating triptych
that evokes the inexpressible links between creation and its demise:
the discovery of radium, Auschwitz, the primordial murder of Abel.
Words are silenced. A space that is first black, then white, then
red is pierced by tones and dissonance, giving rise to visionary
images peopled by the suffering bodies of animals and children,
portraits of startling lyrical power
