Hades Memudar (Hades Fading)

Mainteater in association with Kath Papas Productions

Hades Fading (Hades Memudar) is a vocal and visual performance that envisions the Ancient Greek realm of Hades fading away in post-apocalyptic times, when no humans remain to believe in it or imagine the mythical space. The work reflects on memory, media, belief and the potential catastrophe awaiting humans if we don’t care for our world.
