Nova Melancholia Theatre Company

Meditation I: Concerning those things that can be called into Doubt

“There is nothing about which one may not be in doubt.” 
 
The Nova Melancholia Company attempts a rhythmic/musical approach to Descartes’ “First Meditation”, part of his philosophical treatise, Meditations on first philosophy (1641), the first work of the modern era to posit calling everything into doubt by defining ‘I’ as the ultimate arbiter of reality.
 
In the first part of the performance, Vicky Kyriakoulakou reads the French Rationalist’s text, which was considered heretical in its time, with Tasos Stamou making live auditory interventions. The second part gives us a “music-theatre show with numbers from the Cabaret Descartes”.
