Fruit of Knowledge

Overview

Adam and Eve, encouraged by the serpent, eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge and incur the wrath of God. Forced out of paradise, mankind build a world using knowledge, creating a pleasant urban life.
Humans change and evolve, but they also produce abnormal people. A girl is assaulted, becomes mentally ill and her parents suffer. A group of doctors represent the duality of both Adam and Eve, and the serpent.
During her convalescence, the girl steps on a snake and gets better from the shock.
With the help of the serpent, she returns to the world of knowledge... The myth is reborn in the present day. Human joy is shown to be entangled with nature.

- Participated in the ACA National Arts Festival 1985
