TESSUTO#
Images and visions of a girl looking for her mother in a foreign country, compose a performance based on the interaction between acting, live drawing and live music.
A balance that crosses theatrical action, improvisation and visual performance.
A kind of social theatre that investigates two orders of contemporary conflicts: the exclusion of the foreigner and the intergenerational relationship.

UMANITA’ > LIBRO I
Who’s on stage > two Turritopsis Dohrnii or immortal jellyfish able to transform their cells from a mature state back to immaturity, in other words they never die. They have always had the same beckettsian speeches, until a strange black wave brings them very close to an unexpected and improbable end.
