Anagoor is part of the Fies Factory project

The desperate defense of memory, the fragility of beauty in a country that seems to trample on it with impunity are the guidelines of Anagoor's newest theatrical path.
Fortuny is not a theatrical project about Mariano Fortuny but rather takes its inspiration from his complex eye for the precious delicacy of Venice with the intent to capture the spirit of his fervent work on cataloguing memory and on the ways form is transmitted.
Today in Italy, the ignorant and criminal indifference for cultural memory and beauty, the agony suffered by the land and landscape, the discomfort of those who live in a very delicate age of growth, go on parallel tracks and are frighteningly intertwined. It could not be otherwise for those who, in the process of metamorphosis, perceive the fragility of precious things and the nonchalance with which anything precious is sacrified in the name of endless profit. When fathers are absent or, without shame, share in the devastation brought by the bright fury for fortune then clouds gather on the horizon. They do not bode anything good. And in Renaissance Venice the link between fortune and tempest was well-known).
