Скачать или смотреть MORIAE ENCOMIUM

A little demo of the piece "Moriae Encomium", inspired by the book "In Praise of Folly" by Erasmus of Rotterdam.
In Praise of Folly starts off with a satirical learned encomium, in which Folly praises herself. She parades as a goddess, offspring of Plutus, the god of wealth and a nymph, Freshness and her faithful companions include Philautia (self-love), Kolakia (flattery), Lethe (forgetfulness), Misoponia (laziness), Hedone (pleasure), Anoia (madness), Tryphe (wantonness) and two gods Komos (intemperance) and Eegretos Hypnos (dead sleep). Folly praises herself endlessly, arguing that life would be dull and distasteful without her. Of earthly existence, Folly pompously states: "you'll find nothing frolic or fortunate that it owes not to me."

Music: A. Vivaldi.
Choreography: Vita Stasolla and Laura Manicone
