An Architectural Play: A Poem of Stone

A satirical and philosophical play in which the world's great buildings wake in the middle of a night history cannot date, while architects sleep over their drawings and contractors finally switch off their phones. The Pyramids arrive first, the Hanging Gardens are carried in, Greece and the Parthenon enter with measured steps, the Colosseum wants applause, Hagia Sophia brings its dome, the Alhambra arrives with water, the Taj Mahal speaks of love and the Great Wall asks for room. Machu Picchu descends from the clouds, the Eiffel Tower defends iron and One World Trade Center enters in silence, before the unknown architect appears and the buildings put the architect, the contractor and value engineering on trial. The later acts turn to the small house, the human voice and the user, and ask what lives inside a building.
