Theatre
Romeo Castellucci Societas - The Potato Eaters
Description
The building where the action takes place used to be a big lazaretto, built on a small island. The whole structure is composed entirely of long, vast corridors that now lie empty. The space contains no other architectural feature or object. The title of the action, The Potato Eaters, acts as a portal. These are the only details available. I don’t have anything else to say, but given my great love for contradiction I’ll throw a few words out there which might, it seems to me, have something to do with the action imagined in this space.
