Xº After Cage International Festival of Musical Experimentation

Oceánica proposes a journey into the interior of the human being and his deepest concerns.

The show takes as its starting point a particular path to Ithaca that is projected in the mythological journey of Ulysses. The encounter with the most disturbing questions of the human being are personified in the figures of the lestrigones, the giant Polyphemus or the turbulent descent into Hades.

The work proposes a scenic approach that goes beyond the concept of a concert, becoming a multidisciplinary experience that delves into the journey to Ithaca. In this dialogue between music and dance, the works of Shostakovich, Granados, Albéniz and David del Puerto are the argument that takes us on this vital journey towards our fears, loves, hatreds, joys and sorrows.
