Uso umano di esseri umani

Immerse yourself in the unfathomable world of Romeo Castellucci! The Italian director who has been well received on numerous occasions by audiences in Brussels is back at the Kunstenfestivaldesarts this year with an intimate project that takes us to the heart of his practice and exposes the essential power of his theatre. A little gem in their ongoing project, Uso umano di esseri umani (“Human use of human beings”) is an exercise involving the Lingua Generalissima, an artificial language that the Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio has been developing for some thirty years. In the empty space of a deserted building, the actors subject the biblical story of the resurrection of Lazarus to a system of progressive simplifications and abstractions. Again and again and again… until all that is left is just a few words, pure emotions and the power of our own imagination.
