A century after its publication, this text remains a provocative blend of high poetry and unexpected humour. La Dual Band treads the flow of eight paragraphs without punctuation by help of the fine line between theatre and music, faithfully delivering this remarkable stream of consciousness. It is a dual challenge – for the playwright to create the theatre adaptation and for the performer to play this timeless character – both being Anna Zapparoli. Mario Borciani’s music captivates the audience with a remarkable variety of themes and styles, ranging from rap to nursery rhymes and classic musical theatre.
Please note: the show features high poetry and sometimes explicit language, which may not be suitable for all audiences.
Recommended for ages 16 and up.
