SPIRO

a theatre piece about death

"An ironical, poetic, absurd and touching wake.
Five characters accompany the audience on a journey through the inexpressible and the ephemeral,

revealing the strengths and weaknesses of the human in front of death."

The scene opens with a wake, a custom recurrent in many places of the world, including our own: friends, relatives and acquaintance of the deceased in the same place for long hours to say goodbye and console each other.

BUT! Many hours in the same place can give rise to unusual situations and even paradoxical happenings. Therefore  "SPIRO" slips in comic,poetic and absurd directions. The characters reveal their personalities, their relationships, their secrets through the composition of sound, movements and images as a tableau vivant.
