Work introduction
It is a musical metaphor on the transition from matriarchy to patriarchy, with verses by Ada Negri."From the Gilanic era to the androcratic one where the power to give death overcome the power to give life", with these words, the anthropoligist Riane Eisler, summarizes this passage that lasted thousands of years.The voice of the Goddess whispers from far away, but as soon as it emerges, it is violently suppressed and silenced. An extremely suggestive, dramatic piece, full of magic and pathos.
