«Un’asta dei pensieri. Cerco il miglior (s)oferente per mettere all'incanto il verso delle cose: magari d'uccello o di poeta. Parto dallo sproposito, per la rifusa, con la congiuntivite, varco il fraintendere, fino all’unità dismisura, tra arte e sorte, famminghi e piromani, van Gogh e Bangkok, bene e Mahler, sangue fuori mano e stigmate, stigmate e astigmatici, Dalì fino Allah. C’realtà! Lunire all'esistente l'atranuova san(t)itá, nelle nostre avannotti larvate. Grossomodo, seguendo i miei estinti, preganti di continuare a infnire. Mi sono fatto prendere la mano (sposato o salvato dall’annegar?). Il tempo stringe, non è sempre abbraccio, ma corda o lenzuolo. Basta affacciarsi sul precipizio e sentir lindimostrabiliante sciamanumanesimo tradotto in esasperanto. La scenografa “èscatologica”, il sole blu, la giovane saracinesca su (ermetica perché io mistero),altrista in un tealtro ove nulla accade senza tutti. Manca poco? Tanto é inutile? Non per niente tutto chiede!»
Arrivano i dunque takes the audience on a surreal and playful journey across the boundaries of language and perception. If our body is a living boundary between what we are and what others perceive, Bergonzoni's theatre crosses, dissolves and recomposes the limits of corporeity, language and ideas. Surreal humour thus becomes the tool for questioning one's identity and the relationship with one's body, understood not only as a physical entity, but as the symbol of a border that never stops transforming, changing shape, dissolving.
