Expresso! Teatro Italiano: Dionisi
Showering in Silvio Berlusconi's spunk and holding beauty pageants for underwear-clad burns victims is not what comes to mind when one thinks of satire; yet satire it was, and bitingly so.
Struggling against strong accents, Serate Bastarde attempted to diffuse today's mad world by going mad themselves, coupling the aforementioned acts with emotive and witty tales. The three ladies blatantly pointed out how numb we have become to the social injustices surrounding us, which could have become grating if it weren't for the constant feeling of unease they simultaneously created.
Serate Bastarde seems to have taken in two clichés – social and absurdist theatre - producing a somewhat stilted performance which, to use a cliché of my own, is an experience.
