The Experimental Center of the Colón Theater invites Oscar Strasnoy, composer and conductor, and Florencia Werchowsky, writer and director, for four nights of performative dialogues on drift and artistic creation. Each day is based on one of the four operas of the tetralogy The Ring of the Nibelung as an excuse to talk about music, robots, emotions, the Internet, literature, plastic surgery, cyborgs, fear and the future. The onstage dynamic is a hybrid between a conference, a podcast and a television program, and ends with a tour for the audience through the Wagnerian ruins, reconstructed with pieces of scenery, props and costumes from the performances of the Wagner cycle at the Teatro Colón. The idea is to open to the public an unusual window to the backstage where a work begins to be.
