The beautiful tragedy TO BE human

The Triptych is an artistic project involving four directors from the Scuola Teatro Dimitri and eight actors, dancers, and acrobats from the Accademia Teatro Dimitri. The project is divided into three interconnected segments that explore the fragility and beauty of human beings through different artistic languages: acrobatics, visual comedy, and dance.

In the first segment, led by Adriano Cangemi, the theme of play is explored through movement theater and acrobatics. Here, play is used as a means to explore the essence of humanity, highlighting each individual's unique characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses.

The second segment is a "visual comedy," directed by Ann Klemann and Bernard Stöckli. This part takes place in a playground setting as a social ritual, exploring the different dynamics that emerge from the free interpretations of the characters involved.

The third segment focuses on dance, directed by Nuria Prazak, and explores themes such as falling, failure, and the feeling of imbalance. The dancers interact with gravity in a relationship that oscillates between the playful and the dramatic.

The project, as a whole, invites viewers to reflect on human attempts to defy social expectations, resist the laws of nature, and immerse themselves in play for the sheer pleasure of it. Without following a linear plot, the goal is to stimulate profound reflection on the challenges and beauties of the human condition, connecting past, present, and future generations.

The team involves various artists and technicians, including photographers, costume designers, and lighting and sound creators, making the Triptych a multidisciplinary and collaborative work.
