There is no patheticism, just simple truth. The truth of a couple, the truth of rediscovering human beings, the truth of that word which has now become unpronounceable, which once was called love. Giulio Sonno, paperstreet.it

After the success of Fak Fek Fik at Pergine Spettacolo Aperto, Dante Antonelli is back with the second performance of his project dedicated to the Austrian playwright Werner Schwab.

Duet is the story of two underworlds that strive to be a single one, a game to survive the carnage, the massacre of existence, the imminent catastrophe; a performance on the multiplicity of the states of being in a couple, which puts the spectators in front of the tragic disappearance of the possibility of being two.

The Schlab collective re-elaborates the original text of Schwab “Overweight, unimportant: Misshape – A European Supper”, delivering the image of the present time in which a microcosm, which is populated by minorities, subcultures, deafening noises, interrupted messages, suddenly echoes a crumbling, indifferent and uncommunicative Europe.
