THEMA | Children’s / Teenage general interest: Zombies, ghosts and the undead |
Synopsis | Although our fears have evolved as much as humanity has, what terrifies us most nowadays ar not ghosts, but environmental catastrophe, the economic crisis, deadly viruses and nuclear wars. Fears turn over ourselves, our destructive capacity and the limits of what is allowed because we are convinced that an optimistic perspective of progress is now incompatible with a viable future. More than ever, we need to look for evil in our actions and their consequences. Illness, aging and death constitute the most fearsome of the trilogies for human beings. These stories place us in the main characters' perspectives and awaken our survival instincts to remind us that the monster is just around the corner. |
