Adam's Passion, the 2015 theatrical production conceived by Robert Wilson in collaboration with the great Estonian composer Arvo Part and presented exclusively by Opera di Roma and EUR S.p.A. on 31 March and 1 April at the Roma Convention Center La Nuvola, arrives in Italy for the first time. Wagner's concept of a "total work of art" inspired the work, which combines music, song, dance, movement, lights, and scenography. Tonu Kaljuste, a great interpreter of Part's music, conducts the Capitoline opera foundation's orchestra and chorus, while the great American dancer Lucinda Childs, born in 1940, makes her debut with the Rome Opera. "I created an environment, a space, with the intention of assisting the audience in better listening to Pärt's music, which is notoriously difficult to stage; - explains Robert Wilson - It is a kind music that encourages reflection, and about which we think long after we leave the theater. It was critical to me that the direction and scenography remained open. I created an evocative space without imposing my vision on the public ". The story of Adam is told through the evocative language of Pärt and Wilson. As in the Bible, Adam is expelled from Eden after eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge. He is left alone in a desolate land and receives visions of future horrors committed and suffered by men. They are the consequences of his own fall. Adam will be left with no choice but to beg God's love and forgiveness.
