Tomorrow (3 May) at 9pm at the Vincenzo Da Massa Carrara auditorium in Porcari, the company The Fortunate Exceptions Theatre will stage Nocturnal animals by Juan Mayorga.
A difficult text to convey in the usual synopsis, however, a story of men and women whose lives are dominated by secrecy and solitude. It all starts from the crossing of two shadows on the stairs. Two entities that seek and reject each other for fear of being faced with each other’s diversity. Mayorga’s text presents us with a conflict. However, a conflict that is masterfully implied, almost buried, on which the four protagonists move and walk without actually realizing the world beneath the surface. It is a calm chaos that oscillates between feelings. A chess game with life to break the monotony of an existence without a real purpose. Two couples who live in the same apartment building, diametrically opposed lives who in no other case would have interacted with each other. The show presents with extreme lucidity the theme of existential lonelinesspoorly filled by habit and the inability to react to the emotional blackmail with which we daily shore up the fear of loneliness itself, to the point of building and living a life based on essentially false and precarious relationships.
