Description
A beginning of red life. The accumulated matter becomes an explosion. Organisms that join with others creating increasingly complex forms. A party of encounters and mutation. A party in which consciousness arises in matter and the human being is born, as a complex and divided being. On stage two women who are one, divided in mind and instinct.
A body full of energy, striving to build towers, sustained only by the power of the idea. Towers that want to touch the sky and reach the perfection that brings us closer to God, but that have no other purpose than to collapse. And what happens when the idea cannot be sustained anymore? What is left in the ruins of the identities that we build? In which layer have we abandoned our essence? After the collapse of the mind, the animal resurfaces and it is the instinct, the feminine that sustains the unstoppable force of life.
Life that dies and is reborn in the same instant, that being its nature, the natural cadence of its being.
Zero Paradise represents, as the name that gives the project its title, the repetition of the eternal cycle of destruction and creation. Pero Paradise is the denial of the Christian paradise. Zero Paradise wants to work through the scenic language the collapse of ideas that deny matter, the animal and the feminine. Zero Paradise seeks the catharsis in which we bless ourselves as matter and in this way we celebrate life and its non-linear, but cyclical evolution.
