TERRAMIA

“The Italian physical-theater company ONDADURTO TEATRO imagines human life through the eyes of a robot in a multimedia performance piece.”
Time Out New York – the USA

“This theatre company, already critically acclaimed in New York, has staged a powerful play on the role of the individual in a society that is increasingly manipulated by mass media, nationalistic concepts and ideologies. A firecracker of a show”.
Strandgut. Das Kulturmagazin – Germany

“A sense of identity that is disjointed and disintegrated, like a puzzle with difficult and ever-changing solutions”.
To what extent does what we really are identify us, and how much, on the contrary, does it categorise us?
Terramia is an original multimedia piece, accessible to a mixed, international audience, which brings to life a fierce investigation into the lack of identity through the use of contemporary scenographic language.
Spectators re-evaluate their knowledge of humanity through the eyes of an android who learns about the personal daily lives of various characters.
A common trait of each character is the solemn march towards a loss of individuality, towards a sense of identity that becomes increasingly fluid and changeable.
The show is made up of a successive series of tableaus, which represent fragments of real life, contemporary situations narrated using surreal and postmodern settings, in a language that is ironic and, at times, grotesque. A potential future that acts as a mirror of our present.
