The director, Tijana Zinajić, and her team will provide a playful and provocative reinterpretation of the famous satirical masterpiece and stage it as a direct and vivid and fragrant commentary on our time. The centre of it will be a body – this body will become an arrow that hits where the words don’t reach. The apocrypha, biblical and popular tales will act as a mirror for today’s global crises, but the production will not moralise. By shifting between physical comedy and political satire, between popular tales and modern activism, it will strive to awaken what Fo called 'holy foolishness' – the courage to laugh at what scares us and to use playing to reveal the mechanisms of power.
A vivacious, subversive satire that can list being declared blasphemous by the Vatican among its credits.
