OUT
WORLD PREMIERE: SEGNALI FESTIVAL 2015
OUT is a visual, multidisciplinary show, an original training tale told through the imaginative language of puppetry, a poem for adults, which can also be seen by children. An initiatory journey that leads the protagonist out of the house, a metaphor for certainties, to put him in relation with the world and with its inevitable contrasts. The poetic language of the different techniques used transports the audience into a dream dimension, transmitting its universal message through the use of archetypes.

"Simple, poetical, emotive, it is a magnetic and magnificent puppetry performance, combining several manipulation techniques. This kaleidoscopic and inventive combination of manipulated objects, puppets, shadows – where lights and music are used with cheerful intelligence and emphatic function – creates an impressive performance, sometimes almost like an animated film. Pure theatrical joy.”
— Rui Pina Coelho
"Surrounded as we are by digital realities created especially for us, of which we are caged consumers, shows like OUT give strength to the unsaid agreement between the actors and the public which says that - for the time and space we have in common - we pretend to believe, really believing it. .. Until the applause begins, putting end to the spell."
— Alessandro Toppi, IL PICKWICK
“This simple and astonishing adventure reveals us its clear message: we have to open up the cage of our heart, it is useless to close it up and build barricades, it is useless to close ourselves at home. Better to explore, fly, swim, play.”
— Andrea Porcheddu, GLI STATI GENERALI
"OUT is a tale about growing up, narrated with the language of visual theatre. It doesn’t need words to go straight to the hearts of the spectators: the music, the gestures and the puppets (wonderfully manipulated by the three actresses, visible on the scene) are sufficient to communicate the meaning of the story. A meaning that is not to be forgotten, for a public of all ages.”
— Maddalena Giovannelli, STRATAGEMMI.IT
“A beautiful and poetic show, where the art of puppetry can easily stand out of the tradition and reach out for new horizons, as the main character of the story. ”
— Mario Bianchi, EOLO
