GAMES OF POWER
GAMES OF POWER is a comedy-coupe show, conceived as a theatrical series, as a puzzle of stories whose common denominators are power and the way in which status, place in the hierarchy and power games influence the behavior of the characters.
Whether they are in a police station or in the office of a talent agency manager, or in that of a director of a large company, the characters constantly compete for the top spot in the pyramid and the feeling of omnipresence that comes with occupying this place.
The theme is, therefore, addressed in the context of several different stories. The actors go through several roles successively, change costumes and step into another universe, reverse the relational dynamics, and discover other ways of relating to the main theme.
Through these short theatrical episodes (made after short texts by contemporary American playwrights), the idea is transmitted, very subtly, that, although life is chaotic and often incoherent, there is an underground red thread that connects everything to everything, like an electrical circuit.
Contemporary American short texts (so-called 10-minute plays) are powerful comedies that essentialize the chosen situations to convey a message that has the force of a sudden, intense sensation.
