RADIKINAS

“Radikinas” (roots) is an interdisciplinary performance that combines Science, Live Illustration, Music, and Theater, aimed at a multigenerational audience, starting from the age of 2. The project focuses on a scientific and artistic investigation of the hidden life beneath the earth. The goal is to raise awareness about sustainability, the interconnection between humans and nature, and our responsibility as part of a global community, in a non-linear but poetic, expressive, and imaginative way. Inspired by the famous book “The Root Children” by Sibylle von Olfers and the work of Sardinian artist Maria Lai,  we created a narrative with music, theater, and images. We explore the deep and hidden (“dark”) side of nature, the womb of Mother Earth where life begins. Life that grows from small seeds in a web of roots. The roots that sustain and nourish it, that welcome it and bring it to light. A vital fabric, sometimes solid, sometimes fragile, that allows new things to grow. These small shoots are the beginning of something much larger.
