Les Brigittines

How to hijack the character of Harlequin from the Commedia dell'Arte? Or rather, how to use his buffoonery and deviousness as a grovelling servant to touch on the farce of power relationships?

From slips into misconduct, Enrico Ticconi and Ginevra Panzetti bring out prominent images that evoke other allegiances and many other results. We shift from trivial to terrifying, from statue to gargoyle, from caricature to sensitive faults. The downward slide of bodies and situations resonates as a muted warning, accompanied by a dark laugh that is not funny. On a knife edge, everything could tip to one side or the other. This satirical duet is full of fascinating symmetries.
