The idea is a multimedia show in which the table of elements is the guiding thread and narrative voice in a performance that combines theater, music and video. Liberovici says “working on this project confirms the belief that there is no real difference between composing images and composing music.”

Greenaway chose not only fathers, “because it is the children that matter” and the Children of Uranium are all of us, starting with those born after Hiroshima and Chernobyl, explains the director of the show, the Dutch Saskia Boddeke who, with Andrea Liberovici, creator of the amazing electronic and acoustic music (melodrama flash and musical), curated the show.

It is a complete work of art that has transformed the villa overlooking the sea into an aesthetic organism in which the public creates its own experience. One can wander, sit, touch actors, dancers and things, across the eight rooms where the children of uranium live.
