Michalis and Pantelis Kalogerakis’ performance Man Should Live Poetically is based on the work and reflection of poets of different generations and from different places. Music, songs, speech and images create a web of timeless stories about the diversity of nature and its influence on man’s psyche and evolution. After dominating the earth, the animals and eventually his own fellow-men, he is now faced with the consequences of his actions that threat the climate balance. The way man will handle climate crisis is today’s biggest challenge. The futility of existence should not be a cause of destruction and exploitation but a reason for offering, showing respect and realizing the perishability of things. Art illuminates the path through which we can change our perception and attitude towards nature.
