Gilgamesh
O'Hea-Soncin
Gilgamesh, the oldest hero known to mankind, the hero from whom all other heroes will be born - from the Greek Heracles and Achilles, to the modern Superman and Luke Skywalker. The epic journey of Gilgamesh is the oldest literary work of humanity; it is the story of a tyrant king who becomes a just king; it is the story of an enemy who becomes the best friend; it is the story of a wild man who becomes a civilized man. This is the story of the man who wanted to achieve eternal life and failed but, in trying, gained the wisdom of experience. This is the story of Gilgamesh, told in 30 minutes in a space of two square meters, using physical theater as language.
Technical data
Through physical theatre, storytelling and song, two actors offer a version of the ancient and epic Mesopotamian tale of Gilgamesh. In a delimited space (2x1.5 m) one of the actors embodies various characters, while the other, embodying the same character, narrates the story that the first illustrates with his body.
