MANIPULATION AND OTHER ROMANTIC STORIES
· ITALY ·
The relationship of a couple is revealed within a futuristic-baroque universe. A psychologist/DJ helps a woman to see how lucky she is that her husband gives her his hand when they need to dance in front of others. Social pressure is obscured through a rebellion of original text, electronic compositions and polyphonic songs, glorifying the utility of washing machines or a painting in Uffizi Palace. The play, which resembles a psychiatric session, a concert, a mystical gathering or a manual of instructions, comes back to life three years after its premiere in Frankfurt.
