Babel's new production explores desire

The company Babel is creating a new production that examines the theme of desire, focusing on its complexities in a time when people are generally suspicious of one another.

Drawing from various cultural sources

The production uses a wide range of cultural materials, including visual art, music, academic texts, and popular culture, to present a detailed and layered view of desire.

Mythological and artistic influences

It includes references to ancient myths about abduction, such as those involving Proserpine and Psyche, as well as artistic depictions of spring and surrealism, blending these elements into its narrative.

Visual storytelling and hidden meanings

The production features striking visual imagery that also contains deeper, hidden aspects of the human psyche, encouraging viewers to look beyond the surface.

Encouraging reflection on cultural heritage

It prompts the audience to think about which parts of cultural heritage should be kept or let go, and how new connections can be formed to rediscover the joy of being together without suspicion.

Six interpreters explore desire's depths

Six interpreters are part of the production, each exploring the complex and often unclear aspects of desire to reshape cultural stories and meanings.
