After last season’s success and before setting off on tour to Naples, Genoa and Mestre (Venice), from 10 to 15 March Vautours (Avvoltoi) will be back on stage at Teatro Due, Parma. This ruthless and unintentionally comical play, written by Roberto Serpi, is directed together with Sergio Romano and Ivan Zerbinati and performed by Serpi and Zerbinati together with Federico Vanni.
A tale of capitalist aridity and ferocity starring three vultures: morally and ethically numb individuals, men left without work and dehumanised by an alienating job. A fast-paced play crossed by dark humour, “without sets, without music, without a single change of lighting, recorded voices, videos or costumes,” says Roberto Serpi, “because Vautours also serves as a pretext to see if contemporary theatre can work with nothing at all”.
