The Mauritians do the services, the Sinhalese sell roses, the African men sell necklaces, the Nigerian women are prostitutes, the Eastern women are carers, the Muslim women don’t work because their husbands don’t want them to, the Turks make pizzas and kebabs, the Moroccans wash windows and commit robberies, the Roms steal and use the money to make gold teeth. They are the foreign people of our cities, each one stuck in the role we have assigned them. Their species here is condemned to be foreign forever. Who stole the jam? The bogeyman. LOVE ME is a show that combines two pieces by Antonio Tarantino: the unreleased La Scena and Medea. The author describes the last ones as few know how, without rhetoric, without taboos, with violence and bitter irony.
IN A NUTSHELL
In the jungle of the cities, Licia Lanera brings to the stage humanity relegated to the margins, trapped in the most ferocious clichés. LOVE ME is a cruel and ironic show, which unmasks prejudices through the cutting words of Antonio Tarantino.

Compagnia Licia Lanera is a theatre company co-founded in 2006 by Licia Lanera called Fibre Parallele, which operates in experimental and prose theater. She has produced fifteen shows, with a current repertoire of nine productions, including The Black’s Tales Tour, Mamma, Guarda come nevica (trilogy), Venere/Adone, Con la carabina, Love Me and Altri Libertini. In 2022, Con la carabina won two Ubu Awards for best direction and best foreign text. That same year, Love Me and Due pezzi di Antonio Tarantino debuted, a show that intertwines two of the author’s works, Medea and La Scena, and tells of foreigners and outcasts on the margins of society, highlighting the eternal struggle between the miserable and the powerful.
