“In a bare space which might recall a desert I see beings walking like robots, shaking hands as if to protect themselves from a looming danger. On the moving notes of a violin and a cello that recall laments of love and tenderness, this walking becomes a dance, sometimes joyful, sometimes melancholic, sometimes sad.

 ‘The Awakening’ will be a theatre work about the many falls and the many awakenings. Mine, ours, everyone's, the ones of the world.
 I would like to dedicate it to all those who have fallen asleep and then they woke up. And to those who have not yet awakened, too.” — Pippo Delbono

With the same candour and visual poetry, Pippo Delbono returns to Sibiu with a masterful show-confession. Incisive, touching, unforgettable.
