After the Flood is a time-traveling lecture performance, a sci-fi tale that moves from the places where it is installed to imagine distant destinies and escapes.
The writing starts from a simple intuition: Claudia Sorace and Riccardo Fazi bring to life an epistolary tale whose protagonists move through time from the place where they are. Sitting in their seats, as if intent in a form of meditation or prayer, the two converse without ever addressing each other directly, focused on picking up and sending back signals from other times. Like human antennae, “àugurs” of a dystopian future/past, their voices intertwine and travel through time and space as they ponder a fundamental question: what will become of us?
In a liminal space between sonic storytelling and immersive concert, Ursula Le Guin meets H.G. Wells, and both end up in the jaws of Jack London: that of After the Flood is an archaeo-futuristic dramaturgy that speaks of each of us, generated from a reflection on the places where time settles and stratifies, in the form of archaeological ruins, stratigraphic overlays, architectural mosaics.
