UNDER THE EARTH is a show that, through humour and irony, invites reflection on an urgent theme: wildfires and the importance of good practices in the use of fire, in the protection and enhancement of the forest.
The story takes place in a fictional village, presented in three chapters, where stubbornness, irresponsibility and ignorance prevail. Amidst risky routines and ignored warnings, the inhabitants live focused only on what belongs to them, until tragedy confronts them with their own choices. An absurd yet profoundly human portrait, leaving in the air a certainty: after the fire, nothing will be as it was before.
