Under the title of Mephistopheles, the Anagoor theatre company reworks video material gathered between 2012 and 2018 by Simone Derai and Giulio Favotto, in a Grand Tour narrated through images in a symphonic live set by Mauro Martinuz.
In this Grand Tour men and animals cast light and shadows, and are observed in relation to nature, eros, time and technology.
The Anagoor company was founded by Simone Derai and Paola Dallan in Castelfranco Veneto in 2000, established from the very beginning as an experiment in collective work. Today, directors Simone Derai and Marco Menegoni work regularly with Patrizia Vercesi, Mauro Martinuz and Giulio Favotto, while other artists and professionals join them regularly, enriching their growth and underscoring their nature as a collective.
