Solar

What will rural workers sing when the rural areas become a power plant?

In Sant Martí de Tous, a small village with 1,000 inhabitants, there is a project to build 168 hectares of photovoltaic panels on agricultural land. Power plants of enormous magnitude will change life forever in the village. Wired black mirrors will replace ears of wheat.

Welcome to a cathartic ritual in which a multitude of real testimonies will tell us about the energetic crisis and the way renewable energies are implemented. A public agora from where we can listen to different voices, atavistic chants and electromagnetic impacts.

'Solar' is a show-liturgy officiated by three performers/musicians about the energetic crisis and the photovoltaic power plants business in depressed rural areas; leading to the loss of identity of the rural world and the food sovereignty. A liturgical act in which two colliding worlds in conflict will clash: wheat and laser, voice and mirror, memory and wires.
