Doctors have been recommending for decades not to bathe in the Minor Sea under certain circumstances. For years, Portman Bay has been spreading a mantle of black stone, which we have decided in a dictatorial consensus to call it black volcanic stone, in an attempt to submerge the memory of mining in a transitory environmental enagenation.<\/p>\n<p>The boats cross the Mediterranean from Barcelona, joining dots in a web of whimsical constellations, like someone who joins numbers in a pastime over and over again, until the paper cracks. Late-capitalist negationism is in fact the natural consequence of our fear of not knowing how to manage collapse, change, or bad news. We are unable to understand action and movement beyond the guilt that blocks us.<\/p>\n<p><em>Anoxia<\/em> is an opera in three movements, which proposes different approaches to the current problems of the Mediterranean Sea. On the one hand, it brings us closer to the ecosystemic degeneration and the imminent ecocide, on the other, it draws the network of toll-roads that the large cruise ships draw over the posidonias. And finally, <em>Anoxia<\/em> is also a chant that interpellates the spectator, bringing us closer to a present situation with consequences that are already known, but poorly managed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/6JVEBVnvEwFXpsIwavJAKs?si=65250a9187e04d37\">Play list<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[Featured Image done by Fito Conesa via Midjourney]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Animation of the poem by Konstantinos P.
