1h Brûler combines past, present, and future in musical theatre about the oldest humanoid.
How can art deal with the idea of finiteness? In 1947 the 3,200,000-year-old skeleton of Lucy was found, one of the oldest known hominids. What would Lucy say if she could come back today? In Brûler artists bring her voice to life. On a stage that is configured as a large laboratory, glassmakers create anthropomorphic forms. 3D printers produce synthetic bones and clay blocks are ready to be excavated.
Together with soprano Claron McFadden and performer Simone Aughterlony, Jorge Leon creates an immersive environment in which the purpose of the work gradually becomes clear: calling on the past to question the present, and kindling the fire of a future that is searching for itself in a world whose end is constantly being announced.
