The art of lying – L’arte della menzogna

by Valeria Cavalli and Claudio Intropido
with Andrea Robbiano
a Manifatture Teatrali Milanesi production
Italy


Diego keeps pretending and slowly realizes that he doesn’t know who he is, what he wants from himself and from life. He feels that what he does, what he says, is just an acted normality in order to satisfy those who around him.


His lies, that when he was a child were used to avoid being berated by his parents, as he grew up became barriers that prevent him from fully understanding his feelings and desires.


Now an adult, Diego understands his need to declare to the world, but above all to himself, his diversity. A diversity that mustn’t shock or be denied.
