TRE DESIDERI

h. 21.00

Flip and George are a young couple about to get married. On the day after their engagement party, a mysterious cloud crosses our planet and upsets its destiny: every human being will have the opportunity to have the first three wishes come true. Dreams of glamour and fame replace the everyday greyness:
“The laid-off people got their jobs back. The blind began to see, the deaf to hear, the stutterers received the gift of eloquence, simple things became great, faded things bright. Reality appeared to you as it could have
and you could become the person you always wanted to be.
What will change in Flip and George’s lives as this strange cloud passes by?
What will they choose to wish for?
And will their desires bring them closer together, or push them away from each other?

Acclaimed at the 2001 Edinburgh Festival, Three Wishes is a comedy of irresistible humour, one of the most interesting examples of Ben Moor’s humorous and irreverent genius.

Bottega Rosenguild and Compagnia dei Demoni confirm with “Three Wishes” their interest in contemporary dramaturgy, joining together for the first time in a common project. Following a path already started respectively for Bottega Rosenguild with the show “Le Beatrici” by Stefano Benni and for Compagnia dei Demoni with “Shylock” by Gareth Armstrong, also in “Three Wishes” the author becomes an integral part of the creative process, assisting and collaborating in the staging of his text, and generating interesting short-circuits of different poetics and visions.
Thus, in his debut in Italy, Ben Moor will also be the artistic supervisor of this work that has been so successful in the UK and Europe.

The project “Three Wishes” won the 2014 L.A Petroni Arts Award promoted by Residenza Idra, which is also the production partner together with OffRome and Piefrancesco Pisani.
