Nunc

NUNC
Compagnia BRAT (Italy)

A rift opens onto a parallel world—both primitive and post-human. The story of humanity, an eternal present, shaped by selfishness and greed, overwhelms the weakest and most sensitive, struggling among the humblest in this frantic race toward extinction.

The visceral theme of hunger becomes a tangible narrative, set in a dimension that feels both alien and familiar. A dark and powerful fairy tale that awakens the audience’s senses, inviting them to see, taste, smell, touch, and listen within a timeless ritual.

Blending multiple theatrical languages, Nunc confronts us with the consequences of our actions throughout history. With no spoken words, but a richly layered dramaturgy—incorporating sound, space, masks, and objects—it plants a poetic seed rooted in tradition, blossoming into an unexpected ending that amuses without offering comfort.
