The ‘countdown’ has begun in view of the very important cultural event scheduled on the evening of May 25th at the Alfieri Theatre of Asti, which will host the staging of “The Witches Seed”the spectacular and immersive rock opera (in English) signed by the brilliant musician and founder of the Police Stewart Copeland (expected in Asti on the occasion of the “premiere”)with songs by Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders who they are added to the compositions of Copeland, and Irene Grandi in the protagonist role.
The visionary creation of a musician at the top of world rock, the songs of a leading singer-songwriter on the international pop-rock scene and a great interpreter of Italian music who engages with contemporary musical theatre. Together for a story of witches, persecutions, illusions and diabolical plans set in the past to also tell our present.
Inspired by historical documents, procedural documents from the years of the bloodiest Inquisition and by the most fascinating legends of the mountain cultures of central Europe, “The Witches Seed” is a story of witches, persecution, illusions and diabolical plans: three women, used to working hard, are accused of being witches and will have to face the prejudices of a city infested by the plague, managing to avoid the worst in a truly spectacular way.
Through the story of the oppression and torture of three women by the most obscurantist Church, the show therefore seems to talk about our current conditionin a world now under constant pressure from pandemic threats, shocked by the multiplication of conflicts, disoriented by the proliferation of fake news and on the brink of sinking into a new digital Middle Ages.
