THE SHOW
Carlus Padrissa, founding member of La Fura dels Baus, has conceived a thrilling Carmina Burana where the spectator, through striking scenes, special effects, and even spring fragrances, is fully immersed in the universe of La Fura dels Baus.
On stage, a large cylinder ten meters in diameter literally envelops the orchestra, while images projected onto it illustrate the entire work from beginning to end. A giant moon, the melting of ice, waterfalls, a floral ecstasy, a live harvest, wine, water, and fire... The Carmina Burana by La Fura dels Baus is a sensory, musical, and theatrical spectacle, vital and energetic, which has already been seen by more than 410,000 spectators in Europe, Asia, and America.
Show duration: 1 h 30 min. Recommended minimum age: 10 years old.
THE STORY
Year 1225:
A group of wandering monks, known as the Goliards, live nomadically throughout Europe. Libertines and poets, they call to live in the present, to enjoy life, and to break with established rules. Their songs and texts would be kept in the library of the Benediktbeuern Abbey in Bavaria for more than 600 years.
Year 1936:
Carl Orff finds the texts of the Goliards and is inspired by them to compose Carmina Burana, his great work. This Orff cantata would soon become one of the most popular works in all of classical music.
Year 2009:
Commissioned by Agencia Camera, La Fura dels Baus takes the famous work of Orff to create a total spectacle whose success will lead it to be the most represented staging of Carmina Burana in history.
