street performance

50’



Donkey is a poetic performance talking about a little man who decides to revolt.

It is a tale told through a series of images of loneliness. Although it is set in timelessness,

it takes the viewers and the performers through a number of suggestive images of

betrayal committed by the humanity and the state, to the spectacular ending with

symbolic death and immediate deliverance. The story of the Donkey is narrated by five

characters on stilts. It is all in all an attractive street theatre performance in the most

noble meaning of the word – it is created for public squares and streets, and puts to use

the specific architecture and atmosphere of the urban environment. The performance

is in Italian but knowledge of Italian is not necessary.
