The Earth has been violated
by
her sons.
She
is barren.
The
King is mad.
Can
the death of the
sick
King at the innocent
hand
of his own mother
atone
for the sins
of
the sons?
No.
It is not enough:
dying, the King tells of the end of the world.
Can the sacrifice of Isla Bella,
daughter
of the sun, drowning in her own blood, be
sufficient to stop the serpent of greed devouring her father?
La profecía última del rey
The King's Last Prophecy
by Geoffrey Álvarez
a dream in five operas woven,
in large part,
from the life and beliefs of
the Kogi of Colombia.
Director Keith Warner:
This
really is a piece that
deserves
great support and
MUST
be furthered:
fresh, original and exciting.
Listen to the death of Isla Bella and the serpent's struggle with the sun here.
