Figli di un Dio Ubriaco is a show that marks the return of Balletto Civile to Tramedautore, with a rich cast of performers aged between 9 and 76. A painful fresco of anti-heroes, created like a film with a relentless pace, that includes the wonderful score of Montoverdi’s Madrigali as an ancient and fertile land on which to plan a fragile future. An all-white set, with nothing but bodies expressing the present. An x-ray image of existence. A brief and not-so-epic epic of a community facing small yet relentless problems, interwoven with the stories of characters in search of their own centres. The themes of shepherding, love and war - typical of the Madrigals - bend to the needs of these characters, the continuous beat of human resistance that blends with the sounds of a drunken daily existence, creating images that provide an in-depth examination of our emotions.
Balletto Civile is a collective of performers that was founded in 2003 by Michela Lucenti. The group won the 2010 and 2012 ANCT Awards, and the 2017 Danza&Danza Award for best Italian production, and the 2016 Hystrio - Corpo a Corpo Award.
