About'Creatures of the Earth:
Creatures of the Earth, is a 37 minute long piece combining jazz and movement performed by the Space Theatre Ensemble from Goa directed by Hartman de Souza, with music composed, arranged and played by Steve Siqueira.
The performance revisits the legend of Paikeachi Zor, a sacred spring in the forests of Quepem in South Goa. The creatures of these forests, the earth, the trees, the water and the wind come alive and depict a day from sunrise to sunset, showing the harmony of life and water and then
the rampant destruction of the same forests by men infected with greed and their machines.
After a recent tour to adivasi parts of Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand the performance has been acted out 145 times so far, in village community spaces, marketplaces and squares, temple and church courtyards and for the general public in auditoriums.
Travelling with a mobile photomontage that visually depicts Goa's destruction - thanks to mining - the ensemble also carries a series of artistic maps detailing Goa's fragile ecology that are also made available for a reasonable charge.
The performance does not use a particular language.
