BÁRBAROS explores the rivalry between human instincts and the restraints of society. It weaves dance, sound and visual art/design explorations into a highly visceral and poetic stage production that maps a creative voyage through the ambiguous and inescapable relationship between civilisation and barbarism. BÁRBAROS inspires hope by giving audiences a rich and sophisticated live theatre experience that evokes a sense of renewed wonder in the world they live in, asking them to reflect upon the role they can play in building a better global society.
