In 1840, Étienne Cabet, one of the most celebrated utopian socialists of his time, published the novel Voyage en Icarie, in which the young William Carisdall explores the utopian Republic of Icaria. The novel, which resonated particularly strongly with Parisian workers and artisans, exerted such influence that it led a group of readers, in 1848, to cross the Atlantic and found the Icarian Movement in the USA, in an attempt to turn fiction into reality. Reading and studying this novel form the starting point for Icaria, Icaria, Icaria. Faced with the environmental collapse caused by the destructive logic of capital and the crisis of civilisation it engenders, what is the place of utopia as a revolutionary horizon? How can political imagination contribute to the reinvention of the world? — Rui Pina Coelho / Teatro Experimental do Porto
