Marco Paolini's show Darwin, Nevada will be staged at the Teatro Sociale in Trento from Thursday 20 to Sunday 23 February 2025.
Marco Paolini approaches the father of evolutionism from an unprecedented perspective. Telling us a story of humanity, science, weaknesses, fears, uncertainties. We all know Charles R. Darwin or think we know him. We remember him with a white beard, old and absorbed, leaning against his veranda at "Down House", or young, curious and seasick on his planetary journey on the Beagle. But what's really interesting about her story is right in the middle. Marco Paolini composes narratives, Matthew Lenton creates theatre of images and visions. Darwin, Nevada is their original creation to tell the story of a man who hatches the egg of a new thought, but who is reluctant to lay it and keeps it inside waiting for ripe times. Forget books, biographies, history, this is theater.
