📖 Classical myth brought to the present

The opera centers on a student who reports a sexual assault and is forced to confront a system that casts doubt on her account. Through this conflict, the narrative exposes the painful mechanics of revictimization and social discredit that survivors encounter.

To bring this story to life, the production brings together vocal performance, drama, and live video mapping. This blend of disciplines explores the protagonist's memory while encouraging reflection and dialogue on sexual violence beyond the stage.

👥 Contemporary creation on stage

The staging unites Carlo Constantini's musical and dramatic vision with Olivia Mortis's text, reframing an ancient legend into an urgent social statement at Espai Tísner inside Centre Cívic Cotxeres Borrell.
