The artistic director of the event, Gigi Spedale, quoting the director Giuseppe Provinzano, thus presents Oἶδα: “We inaugurate Interpretare l'Antico with a musical ritual that becomes theater (and nostos), working on the state of consciousness and the performativity of interpretative trance. A particular liminal form of theater that works on the poetics of the moment and the symbolic: the Bacchae experience the story as a reminiscence, a memory, an ironic narration of the social, spiritual and political events of classical tragedy, demystified by capitalist interests, taken aims in the name of respect for the body and cultural and gender diversity. The sounds of bodies and voices, through the use of microphones that become and electronic equipment set up like altars, in one created by the auctions, which becomes a contemporary auditorium. Participatory performance, which can be experienced by the public, as in a social ritual in which they can get involved."
