The Heavenly City / A soldier's tale

Two twentieth century works, on the Fall and damnation, on vision and reality. The Revelations of St John and the French-Russian ghost story: the primeval fears of the human psyche come to life using each human mode of expression (music, prose, song, dance). They are special musical visions on topics that accompany our human existence all the way. We have been filled with anguish about them for decades, but the pill that would make our nightmares disappear has not yet been invented.
The Heavenly City exposes the endangered nature of community and humankind, while the A Soldier's Tale the volatility of the individual. Both are precise mappings of the anguish of the 21st century, the first exploring the problems on the horizon of the macrocosm, while the other on that of the microcosm. We are afraid that the protective cover that we live in does not protect us from anything any more. We are afraid that our conscience is not strong enough either: we become neurotic, we suffer from autoimmune illnesses, because we are unable to defend ourselves from the attacks of the world. The Earth, humankind and the individual all suffer from the same. The World has become volatile. It is only itself that can redeem itself, if it is not too late.
