 Metanoia is an opera created by Emanuel Dimas
      de Melo Pimenta as part of the official European celebrations
      of the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War (1914-1918).
      The world premiere took place at the Batalha Monastery, a 14th
      century Gothic building in Portugal, in 2018 - occupying the
      entire monastery.

      The Batalha Monastery was built to celebrate the victory of Portugal's
      last war against the Spanish attack and as a landmark for the
      end of the wars with that country. In fact, over the next six
      hundred years, Spain and Portugal never went to war again.

      Metanoia is an ancient Greek expression meaning the coming to
      consciousness.

      Pimenta's opera was created as a celebration of the human as
      the primary condition for the "end of the idea of war".
      It unfolds through the history of art, music and philosophy,
      especially over the last five hundred years.

      The film, which has its world premiere here at the event Conflitti,
      il valore della diversità, il disastro dell'intolleranza,
      in the context of the meetings of the Amici della Spirale in
      Milan, is made about the second movement of the opera - and is
      a non-verbal reflection on art and music since the 14th century.
      This movement was characterized by thousands of images projected
      onto the walls of the great monastery.
