Sotterraneo, the theatrical research group founded in Florence in 2005 and composed of a fixed nucleus of authors accompanied by a range of collaborators according to the various projects, returns to the Piccolo with three shows. Each work produced by the group is like a probe launched to examine the linguistic possibilities of theatre, seen both as a physical and an intellectual place, one that is both ancient and inevitably contemporary. With cross-sector and multi-layered works, Sotterraneo spans formats, focusing on the contradictions and shadows of the present though an Avant-pop approach that seeks to express our era while walking a line between the collective imagination and the most anti-conventional of ideas.
In Shakespearology we find ourselves facing the bard himself, who, after centuries spent witnessing the re-elaboration of his life and works, can finally speak up and have his say, questioning contemporary audiences through an “imaginary interview” conducted with the off-stage voices of the members of Sotterraneo.
