“The hammock of tomorrow”. Considerations in public, in the presence of a cow
€ 7.00The new show by Michele Serra debuts at Dialogues. Words - with their power of seduction and their traps - are the stars of this theatrical monologue. In this comic, romantic and improper piece Serra reveals all about his art of writing to the audience. Is writing your opinion in a newspaper column every day for 27 years a kind of power or a punishment? An exercise of style or maniacal showing off? Should we envy animals who live without being condemned to talk? All the people and the subjects covered over the years – politics, society, real stars and fake ones, ordinary people, customs, culture – re-emerge with the same vibrant energy, along with a few surprises. Winding the mass of his writing into a ball, the author also reveals traces of his own weaknesses and obsessions. The real end of the skein may be found in childhood, as is always the case. Fortunately, the ending is still to be written.
