Pasolini, Petróleo. Una ficción documental (2024-25)
“Petrolio is a wild beast; what remains of a crazy, visionary, unclassifiable, revealing work. It is the chronicle of a process of knowledge and transformation. It is a way of becoming aware of the world and experimenting with ourselves. Technically: an initiation.” This is how writer Emanuele Trevi describes Petrolio, the last work on which poet, film-maker and writer Pier Paolo Pasolini was working when he was murdered 50 years ago.
This show, conceived and adapted by Asier Puga with music by Carlos de Castellarnau, approached the work through sound, aspiring to its original idea as a hybrid work. The result is neither a concert nor a stage play, but an experience situated just on the boundary between the two categories, where the word overflows into multimedia, to recover, through a complex interplay between reality and fiction, one of the most fascinating works of the 20th century.
