• Clue 

“For the writer, being catapulted for an hour into a world where the clamor of the body and the spirit speaks is a precious gift. In Clue one is seduced by completely alternative codes to the complex word. In my opinion, one of the most powerful scenes is based, for example, on the simple conflict between two minimal particles of saying which are however the essence of being free: the dualism between "yes/no", compliance or rebellion/rejection. But I don't want to extrapolate moments or single examples from a show that has 16 actors on stage who are always on stage at the same time

with hypnotizing rhythms that mix dance, music, theatre, circus and, of course, the clamor of bodies. The sensational in the asylums of the past were a kind of crazy, the most complicated to manage. For this reason, Clue has the surprising effect of the successful and precious alchemy of delicately handling the chaos of personalities, catapulting them into

scene. For an hour the spectator is dragged into a projection of the unconscious where he has infinite combinations in which to identify himself, nourished by a crazy spiral of scenic actions, gestures, carousels of movements, sounds, songs, noises. Making everything sensationally real and tangible is the energy of the actors who were able to contribute to "writing" each staging in an unrepeatable way because in the work of the director Lucrezia Maimone one perceives the natural (and rare) ability to prepare and not to arrange. Each stage brings out many "I" that multiplied by fifteen actors become a very enjoyable kaleidoscope of human entropy. On stage all these infinite fragments manage to explain the multiplicity in unity better than millions of words. Chaos has an astonishing harmony and if acceptance and the ability to welcome this chaotic nature of ours and adapt to its rhythm is lacking, any other attempt at recomposition based on an order oriented towards negation and exclusion would correspond to a

unbearable mutilation of our humanity. All in all, a sensational show. In whose vortex there is no time to choose how to get excited, whether to laugh, get worried or moved, overwhelmed by a table laden with mixes

of such gargantuan emotions.”
