A-Men is a story always hovering between irony, drama and poetry. A contamination of languages in a perfect mix between theater image (giant transparent pillows, bicycle wheels and dancing puppets who fall in love) which is flanked by the monologues of the main character. A story which is visionary, realistic and contemporary at the same time. It ‘s a show about the “crisis”, understood in its multiple meanings: the crisis of a man, the total crisis of everything he believed to believe. During a stand-up, a comedian realizes that nothing is going well at all: indeed, everything goes quite bad. He takes note of this in front of the public, and the only solution is to find escape from the stage. So the play becomes his journey of reconciliation towards a different life, which is in contrast to livable theater. A-Men is a study of the existential crisis seen as a necessary change to match the search path to take, from which to look for help and to interpret the complex and elusive world around us. A-Men speaks of old and new religions, spirituality, old and new, of love and death, how to find a place in the world feeding on past crises and become harbingers of constant change.
