“The old world is dying.
The new one is slow to appear.
And in this light-dark, monsters are born.”
Antonio Gramsci
A cross-disciplinary project inspired by Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, delving deeply and ironically into the subtle line between reality and fiction, honesty and role-playing, concrete action and pantomime. How to survive emptiness, oneself, loneliness?
Dreamlike and subversively political, Strangers in the Night aims to blend social realism with tragicomic writing, opposing sentimentality and inviting the audience to reflect on the present through dark and biting humor. A meta-theatrical exploration, breaking the fourth wall and involving the audience in an escalation of madness, violence, and irony…
Seriously ironic, the compositional poetics employs the language of defeat to speak of hope, decay awaiting rebirth, the fall preceding (perhaps) the desired ascent.
The new co-creation signed by Jos Baker, Linus Jansner and Carlo Massari is part of the research journey on Metamorphoses and marks an important step towards the affirmation of the C&C Company’s distinctive compositional style.
C&C, directed by Carlo Massari, identifies itself as a project dedicated to the creation and development of an evolving artistic language, aimed at a physical and dramaturgical investigation. It seeks to convey and share energy and creativity in the most direct, clear, and real manner possible, closely related to the pressing contemporary social issues. Characterized by constant and unembellished work, C&C focuses on the depth of interpersonal relationships with the goal of bringing truth to the stage through a deeply physical language that allows the audience to feel represented within its universality.
Founded in 2011, the Company has shown from the start a strong inclination towards hybridization and the transversality in the use of dance in relation to other contemporary performative codes, establishing and solidifying itself today as a “Amphibian” creative identity.
Among its numerous productions, the most recent include: Beast without Beauty, Les Miserables, A Peso Morto, RIGHT, Metamorphosis… which have received significant recognition and international tours. The company frequently creates works involving community engagement, establishing a dialogue that enhances the artistic project: a search for relational truth that characterizes the company’s poetics and is combined with a total imaginative openness capable of bringing the audience closer to the theatrical experience.
