On Designboom Stefano Boeri Architetti scenic project for Euripide’s Trojan Women which brings a landscape on stage, a Dead Forest, at the Greek Theater of Siracusa from the 10th of May till the 23rd of June.
The project brings hundreds of trees in Sicily from the forests destroyed by the Vaia storm last autumn 2018 in Friuli Venezia Giulia and Veneto, linking the Trojan destruction to this recent natural catastrophe and creating a parallelism between the Trojan women and the dejected trees, aiming to reuse the firs in the Sicilian wood supply chain.
