Ladies and gentlemen! Look at this creature, as God made it, it’s nothing, really nothing. And now they look at art, it walks briskly, it has jackets and trousers, it wears a saber! Look at the progress of civilization: everything progresses. The monkey is already a soldier; certainly not much, it is the lowest step of the human species! Georg Büchner-Woyzeck
LES MISERABLES. A ruthless and immoral fresco on today, a contemporary middle-class drama, familiar sometimes. A roundup of stereotypes, already seen, already said and acted. The theater of human misery: body and voice at the service of a painful chorus that echoes Aristophanes’ Frogs, perhaps an Offenbach operetta or even the famous Brechtian opera. Static and immobility in response to the imminent, evident (physical, political, social, environmental …) collapse. What’s going on around us? An in-depth analysis of the current situation and the search for connections between the forms of protest present – rarely based on the idea of human evolution and revolution – and the historical Enlightenment vision, which puts Culture and Art at the center of change. A work that again leads the company to investigate contemporary social issues, through a strong impact “amphibious” language and a complex dramaturgical level in support of the work.
Un approfondimento sull’attualità e sulla ricerca di connessioni tra le forme di protesta presenti – raramente fondate sull’idea di evoluzione e rivoluzione umana – e la storica visione illuminista (illuminata), che mette Cultura e Arte al centro del cambiamento. Un lavoro che porta nuovamente la compagnia a indagare tematiche sociali contemporanee, attraverso un linguaggio “anfibio” di forte impatto e un complesso livello drammaturgico a sostegno dell’opera.
