Veles e vents

Created in 1994 to inaugurate the Channel Tunnel, Xarxa Teatre starts from the work of the Valencian poet Ausiàs March to place before the spectator’s eyes an idyllic but also apocalyptic sea; a sea that is a source of life and a connecting space of cultures but also a sea in full destruction, turned into a nuclear cemetery and permanently in flames due to oil catastrophes. The environmental message is today more present than ever, as is the scenic proposal. The use of pyrotechnics and mobile elements accompanies the voyage of a ship that, in a matter of seconds, transforms from an idyllic sailing ship to an oil tanker.
