A spectacle by Marcelo Fagerlande and Alberto Renault.
Based on a construction inspired on the structure of baroque opera – opening, intercalated arias with recitatives, chorus and ending – the spectacle contains excerpts from operas by Monteverdi, Purcell, Haendel, Rameau and Boismortier, which are presented with the common thread of the human feelings described by Descartes in his work The Passions of the Soul: admiration, love, hate, joy, sorrow and desire.
