Tragedy keeps surrounding us, much more than it did in 2000, when we started our work about love sacrifice. Creation after creation the number of victims has increased, following an even numerical principle of growth of the sacrificial lamb: from his own sacrifice in Alcesti, to the sacrifice of the two children in Medea, till the sacrifice of an entire community in Polis. Polis means city, but the word also refers to politics. On stage, people keep appearing and disappearing, according to the idea that whereas there was someone before, in the following instant no-one still remains. In the sequence of images one can recognize time by time a myth that engenders the action without necessarily being its main subject. The consequent tragic content is not represented, being instead the occasion to define tragic forms without any explanatory purpose. Every character shows different human types through his physical and acoustic mask. (Quelle: http://www.abbondanzabertoni.it) / jst
