Abstract

This essay intends to be an analysis of the play Resurrexit Cassandra using as references the text written by Ruggero Cappuccio and the directorial approach developed by Fabre in which the fragile divisions between theater, dance, and video are in fact overcome. The play unfolds through five rheseis. Here the Trojan prophetess denounces the deceptions produced by technologicalenviromental changes caused by the enslavement to the modernist project that led to the ideological and moral collapse of a humanity that deceived herself with the promise of a future of sure well-being.
