Sharp, uncanny and provocative in style, Italian company Sotterraneo present their 2009 show Dies Irae: 5 episodes around the end of the species, re-staged 10 years later with a new cast. Literally translated as ‘Day of Wrath’ the show probes how humans archive our ‘collective’ memory of our past, present and hypothetical future. When you think about it you haven’t seen your birth and you won’t see your death. The present is a historical tense. The present is a convention. The present is above all space of action. Let’s live and celebrate our times and then return to dust. Hallelujah!
Since their first appearance at BE FESTIVAL in 2011, Sotterraneo have appeared in subsequent BE FESTIVAL’s and continued to develop work and perform internationally.
Programmed in association with SHIFT KEY.
