“An auction of thoughts. I look for the best offer to put up for auction the verse of things: perhaps of a bird or a poet.
I start from the nonsense, melt again, with conjunctivitis, I cross the misunderstanding, up to the disproportionate unity, between art and fate, Flemish and arsonists, van Gogh and Bangkok, good and Mahler, blood out of hand and stigmata, stigmata and astigmatism, Dalì to Allah”.
In Arrivano i dunque, in addition to the usual comic writing, Alessandro Bergonzoni introduces the concept of “creality”.
“Creality” is the attempt to recreate a reality that is no longer enough for us, albeit we can and must reinvent every day, in search of a future of absolute peace and opening up to the threshold of new perceptions and other meanings. So, Arrivano i dunque because the times are full and as Bergonzoni asks “Is there anything left? Is it useless anyway? Not for nothing does everything ask!”
IN A NUTSHELL
Arrivano i dunque is an explosion of linguistic games, irony and reflection that transforms the stage into an “auction of thoughts”. With his inimitable stylistic figure, Bergonzoni leads the audience on a journey through words and concepts.

With fifteen theatrical performances, six books, and a career that spans theatre, literature, visual arts and cinema (including Pinocchio by Roberto Benigni and Quijote by Mimmo Paladino). Alessandro Bergonzoni intertwines words and visions in a surreal and deeply evocative language.
He has been collaborating for years with Il Venerdì and Robinson di Repubblica, and since 2005 he has also approached the world of contemporary art. His artistic path merges with an ethical and civil commitment, touching on themes such as coma, illness, and detention.
Among his most recent works are the show Trascendi e sali and the performative installation Tutela dei beni: corpi del (C)reato ad arte. He has received numerous awards, including the UBU Prize, the Hystrio Prize, the Volponi Cup and the National Culture of Peace Prize.
