Introduction

A ground-breaking production brings Pessoa's magmum opus to life on stage, instilling a productive and monumental disquiet in the audience.

Photο: Marina Levitskaya

Fernando Pessoa's magnum opus is brought to life through the music-theatre performance by the celebrated Dutch composer and director, Michel van der Aa.

Miltiadis Fiorentzis in the leading role and the Greek contemporary music group, Ergon Ensemble, under the baton of the experienced Kasper de Roo, interact with cinematic projections in a ground-breaking production in which song, electronic sounds, live music, images and the spoken word complement one another, filling the stage with Pessoa’s anguished literary and existential quests.
