This cycle, through the theatrical investigation, explored the never ending fight between Good and Evil, between Power and the Human Being, forced to take different roles. In the first performance, Boom, the dramatic challenge between Crime and Investigation is transformed in something very grotesque by a man that, even if he seems to be taken from a comic strip, plays a role without truth; in the Foster’s Case investigation becomes melancholy and paranoia. In Gigaflop, technology is used to influence with the intention of making the fear triumph over the will to fight and to destroy the group, the emptiness of feelings, while the investigation becomes a desperate attempt to escape. In Sgòrbypark there is another level, like a “day after”, when everything is over, the crime has been done and the human being is transformed and no more recognizable. The investigation, at that point, is turned into something different: resistance, dream, illusion. Giacomo Gamba, into the four correspondent workshops, conducted the actors through a theatrical way of investigation connected with different techniques of the art of movement and of the improvisation and he studied in depth the human transformation (body expression, movement, slow-motion, rhythmical sequences, live music, etc.). This way, characters were born with different bodies and voices into the work that finds its origin in the dramaturgical “Emotional-Idea”. SUMMARY OF THE SUBJECT SGORBYPARK Two ex-members of secret organizations went under all kind of experiments, before, during and after their missions. They were the first to test, on themselves, genetically modified food, clonation, reproduction of the cells, brainwashing. They were used for the worst purposes in the name of progress by an ambiguous power and now they are just two human beings without a definite identity. They are just rubbish in a world that is collapsing. They are lost and left alone into Sgòrbypark. Their lives have become surviving through a rite of remembrance, evocation, illusion. In this hallucinated trip the two protagonists live again old missions and explore the dark side of their souls, but also what is still there, that little humanity that leads them to make a new, desperate, tragicomic attempt…. to live. Their effort is very moving and it is human and unreal at the same time . So human and unreal that this situation can make you laugh….or cry.
