An ambitious, poètic, philosophical text of life, humanity and freedom

We are in 16th century Flanders and we accompany Zenon, a doctor and alchemist, in the final years of his life. L’alquimista is an adaptation of the novel by Marguerite Yourcenar L'Œuvre au noir, which recreates a Europe halfway between the darkness of the Middle Ages and the light of the Renaissance. A world that we see as almost dystopian while exploring issues in an almost visionary way.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

L'Œuvre au noir is a fascinating historical novel by Marguerite Yourcenar on humanity and freedom.
A story set in Europe, in the midst of a war and in a period of deep crisis and transition. A hallucinatory, poetic, philosophical and frenzied journey through time and our continent featuring many echoes of current affairs.
I love the way Yourcenar writes. It is radical in all senses. It is brilliant and demanding. And, above all, it offers – through its forms – many opportunities to take it to the stage. I am very excited to bring the history of the alchemist Zenon to the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya.
