Of cups and stars

The teapot whispers to the cup. And someone is listening.

He's convinced: the entire world is engaged in a silent conversation, and it's his job to eavesdrop. But what is he trying to say? To escape an existential solitude, suspended between bursts of grandiosity and doubts about his own perception, the appearance of another seems to offer a possible answer. Yet the attempt to interpret the signs and impose order begins to crack. Power turns into impotence, the game becomes serious, and reality begins to slip away.

The show moves between humor and the abyss, between childish curiosity and existential loneliness.

A theatrical exploration of how we construct reality and what happens when the responder suddenly disappears.
