The true story of a group of friends who are faced with a choice: what to do with a bag full of money, found on the road? Above all, what to do if, on the eve of turning forty, you have a job which allows you to “scape a living”? A play which is a metaphor for real life, a blend of ethics, morals, self-interest and friendship.
Teatro Grassi
Included as one of the initiatives for the European Year of Cultural Heritage, the 18th edition of Tramedautore – International Festival of Dramaturgy directed by Michele Panella, focuses on a new generation of artists from Italy, France, Spain and Germany, immersed in a period of great fragility and political, social-cultural and individual paradoxes.
In addition to the plays, the Chiostro Nina Vinchi will play host to discussions, performances and concerts.
Più carati
On an ordinary day in a November from the past, Gli Omini found a bag full of money and a ring in the street... and they took it. This simple gesture led to a nightmare: three days of delirium, fantasy, drunken binges, desires, paranoia, and ethical and moral doubts that put them all in crisis. Above all their minds, which crack, together with their friendship, their memories, their perceptions, and even the carats. Più carati is the result of this situation, in a (failed) attempt to restore a little order.
Gli Omini, a theatrical company which was set up in 2006, received the 2014 Enriquez Award for “Innovative company”, for their research and civil commitment, and the 2015 Rete Critica Award as the company of the year. Their plays include CRisiKo! (Finalist in the 2007 Scenario Award), Gabbato lo Santo, (Giovani Realtà- Accademia Nico Pepe Award), and La famiglia Campione (2014).
