Theatre, music, circus, dance, cinema, advertising: La Fura dels Baus is undoubtedly one of the first companies to experiment with multidisciplinary creative languages. It is precisely for this that their performances are always a new, engaging and disarming experience. This year the Catalan company brings an open-air performance to Naples and which will involve the entire city. Video projections, acrobats, giant puppets, wheels of fire: a highly impacting scenography to tell the story of divinity, power and beauty. The scene is that mythological tale of the “apple of discontent”: Eris, the goddess of strife is the only one not to have been invited to the wedding between Thetis and Peleus. In revenge, she presents herself at the celebration throwing onto the nuptial table a golden apple with the following words: “for the most beautiful”. This gesture unleashes a furious argument between Hera, Aphrodite and Athena. Zeus proclaims Paris as the judge. In order to sway his decision, the three goddesses promise varied rewards: Athena, victory in war, Hera – severity over Asia, Aphrodite – love for Helena, the most beautiful woman on earth. Paris chooses to love Helena and thus gives the apple to Aphrodite.
