From August 19th to August 23rd Mario Biagini will conduct a study period, “Words in Silence”, on verbal action in nature, hosted by Omma Studio Theater, at “Theatro ton Agron”, in the Kyparissi village near Heraklion, Crete.It will be an exploration on how we can speak in nature, how can words resonate in the silence. How poetry (in the language of your choice) can awake our sensitivity and our thought.
Omma Studio and friends are organizing this theatrical summer meeting near Kyparissi, 20 km away from Heraklion, in the island of Crete. It is addressed to all kind of performers, to students, and to everyone who wants to live an alternative theatrical experience in nature. No previous experience is required.
