The workshop introduces a dramatic dialogue between rock poetry and the human being (creator, musician, audience) through a personal review of stage images that create an autograph-like dramatic structure. How do young people today perceive rock poetry lyrics? What do they know about specific historical moments? What impact did this poetry have on the audience and public during times of war and crises? What impact does it have now, and what new effects are created by modifying the fundamental ideas and messages of this poetry within the context of new social revolts? What does “the poetry of circumstances” mean, why is the stage an Orphic theatre, and where does pharmacognosy knowledge fit in? These are the enigmas explored in the workshop led by Farmakopea Theater with its participants.
