“Roberto Zucco” is a contemporary classic. The so-called “new drama” finds its origins in the works of the rebellious, intellectual Koltes.
This strange tale - almost a detective story - is a true psychological enigma filled with paradoxes, violence, unexpected humor and unsymmetrical lyricism.
“I thought I knew this world like my own kitchen” – says one of the characters. But quotidian reality here suddenly reveals another side and brazenly demonstrates the absurdity and horror of the ordinary. It reveals the severe poetry of murder, poverty and the prosaic nature of life. It exposes the illogicality of the human world, of every impulse and any action.
What drives us mad in this methodical nature of reality? Is it the city with its cold neon lights, the fear of its crossings and grates? Or, perhaps, it’s the unquenchable thirst of love? The pain of solitude? What is the origin of violence and what is the origin of love? At what place in the human soul do these things fuse into a whole? What is the price of human contact?
