Description

In a country where everyone steals in order to survive, the appearance of one honest man is enough to shatter the balance. The Black Sheep, inspired by the iconic short story by Italo Calvino, transforms its dark allegory into a contemporary theatrical experience filled with farce, black humour and biting social satire. Through a polyphonic world of bodies, sounds, and constant transformations, the performance sheds light on a society where corruption feels natural and honesty almost dangerous. The honest man does not become a hero; he becomes a threat to the system. With a fast pace, live music performed on stage, and continuous shifts between roles and narration, the piece poses an urgent question: when inhumanity becomes the norm, who still dares to remain human? A harsh and timely fable about the cost of dignity — and the power of those who refuse to conform.
