Maurizio Battista at the Olympic Theatre
New Year’s Eve with Maurizio Battista at the Teatro Olimpico, with the new show “Uno, niente, centomila”. A title that recalls Pirandello, but which becomes the starting point for a brilliant and profoundly current reflection on contemporary identity. Between laughter, paradoxes and moments of irresistible comedy, the common thread is clear: everyone should be “one”, sincere and coherent with themselves. But the consumer society pushes us to become “one hundred thousand”, shedding our skin, ideas and desires based on fashions, social pressures and other people’s expectations. And in the end, lost in this game of mirrors, we risk becoming “nobody”. [TUTTE LE INFORMAZIONI]
