Nicholas Ciuferri and Daniele Celona will stage the reinterpretation and rewriting of some traditional fairy tales and stories for children in a current and dystopian key (plus the creation of some) to bring out aspects of the contemporary in a direct and sometimes crude way through the tool of fantasy, black humor and images as vivid as they are plausible.
In this way "Alice nel paese dei balocchi" tells us about a girl from the township trapped between acquaintances dedicated to drug dealing and cultural models devoted to the society of the image (rather than the imagination); Pinocchio is a boy who struggles all the time between acceptance of his body and the will to change it in a homophobic environment, or even the devil Nino who wonders about the nature of things in an improbable and metaphysical conversation with Lucifer in the lake of Cocito. The itinerary is divided into 8 stories and various unpublished musical pieces.
