The piece creates a new context for an old story placing Adam and Eve in the age of the Internet , Skype, chat and webcam. The new context and the modern technology opens the way to mix different genres, sytles and spaces: there is a mix of the opera and theater and video, classical music and folkmusic, burlesque and pantomime, seriousness and humour.
