Bringing together her scientific background as a Geologist and her theatre background as a Physical Theatre specialist, award-winning director Chiara D’Anna takes us into a surreal journey to discover the beauty, wonders and fragility of our planet.
The piece is partly autobiographical but mostly fictional. It’s a grotesque and surreal reinvention of Chiara’s first expedition to the Himalayas as a young Geologist. It’s a modern fairy tale combining Storytelling, Devising and Physical Theatre.
Protagonists of this story are a clumsy scientist, Daisy, and an array of quirky characters not necessarily humans…and not necessarily from the Himalayas! Some of them try to help Daisy to discover the secrets of Mother Earth’s ancient language. Others try to stop Daisy’s expedition and prevent humanity to reconnect to their true nature and wisdom. Daisy has to overcome many challenges, face many enemies and fight against time. The clock is ticking; humans have to learn Mother Earth’s language quickly…before it’s too late!
