Victory over the Sun, the first futurist opera, appeared two days in December 1913 at Luna Park Theatre in St. Petersburg. The opera was considered a work of art, a piece of "theater integration," was one of the first signs of performance and multidisciplinary collaboration. Victory over the Sun pointed to "the victory over the past," in the words of Mikhail Matyushin (composer of this opera), "the victory over the ancient and deeply rooted idea that the Sun is equal to beauty, represented an illusory cosmogony by Romanticism. "

In 2011, the Peruvian artist Alan Poma (Peru) adapted the futuristic opera to present for the first time in Casa Tres Patios, Medellin, Colombia. For three years he has continued his research on this work and has performed in venues in Lima, Peru, and in the Museo Experimental el ECO in Mexico D.F. . His search has led him to work with anthropologists, historians and physicists; with their help has posed a close relationship between Russian Futurism and Andean culture, from the similarity of both iconography.
