Two performers introduce the audience to an archaeological site, not seen as a field of human activity but as a field of action of non-human beings, the animals that have inhabited it over time. From the animals of the past, those we recognise today on the geological fossils and archaeological material, to the animals that live there today, as well as to their future prospects. A renegotiation of man’s relationship with the world, towards a more wholistic understanding of the past and the present.
The production BESTIARIO is a continuation of the company’s ten-year-long effort to achieve a combination of theatre and archaeology, which they love so much to explore: how can theatrical means be used to approach the archaeological material from a fresh perspective, while strengthening the ties with the local community, and how can archaeological tools (like excavations, the study of findings etc.) contribute to the creation of a site-specific play?
