Evelyn
Piccolo Teatro Libero / Associazione Culturale LLUM
The show was born from the necessity to translate onto the stage human frailty in the face of imposed patterns. It also takes us toward the rediscovery of nature (the deepest human one). Evelyn, the protagonist, finds herself living in an extreme situation, locked inside a cramped space, manipulated and bombarded by a constant and pressing presence of messages and information. She cannot be herself – she is alone and induced, transformed to the point of being comic and funny, but also tragic at times. An ironically dramatic journey through a daily life, punctuated by fake rituals.

The Nest
Cia. Ale Martin
In the nest, a birth is danced. In this dance piece, a blank body surrenders to the continuous cycle of birth and death. Thrown into gravity, lifted by vital force. A body dancing between heaven and earth. Breaking the shell, leaving the darkness, bidding farewell to the aquatic life, opening the gaze, coming into the world. Pleasure, discomfort, slowly… breathe… hold me... enjoy... silence. Walk, fall, listen, fight, laugh, scream… dance. Silence.
