We have a title: the word HUMAN crossed out by a black line that crosses it, as if to signify the presence of the human and at the same time its possible denial. Human is the body in its physical and psychic integrity, in its individuality. When this integrity is suppressed or annulled with violence it falls into the inhuman. Human are feelings, emotions, ideas, relationships, rights. We have dreamed of them as eternal and universal: we must acknowledge \u2013 with pain, with bewilderment \u2013 \u200b\u200bthat they are not always so. The history of our twentieth century and the events of this early 2000s tell us that intolerance and persecution, individual or mass, against the defenseless and innocent, continue to be perpetrated without stopping. <\/p>\n
With our theatrical research we would like to insinuate ourselves into that threshold where the human being loses his universal connotation, to use theatrical forms to investigate what is happening in recent years, before our eyes, in our Europe, understood not only as a geographical entity, but as a \u201cWestern\u201d system of values \u200b\u200band ideas: the walls that are rising, the fundamentalisms that are advancing, the attacks that are upsetting the cities, the refugees who are seeking refuge. But if we stopped here it would be another example of so-called civil theatre, and this is not enough for us: we do not want the spectator to leave only more aware and virtuously indignant or moved. We want to disorientate him, worry him, disturb him, besiege him with questions. And at the same time enchant and entertain him. And to succeed we will theatrically investigate that very sign of cancellation, that line that sanctions and cuts: exploring and conquering the fateful threshold that separates the human from the inhuman, confronting ourselves with words, revealing contradictions, clich\u00e9s, impasses, uncovering conflicts, hypocrisies, unspeakable fears. We would like to build a theater ruthlessly capable of going and putting its finger on the wound, where it shouldn’t be, where it would be better to let it go, and going to touch the exposed nerves of our culture regarding the human\/inhuman dichotomy. Without giving up irony, and even humor: because perhaps only theater knows how to touch terrible conflictual knots with the lightness of a smile, the visionary nature of images, the irreducibility of poetry. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
