The Geneva-based company L’Alakran is certainly one of the most interesting on the contemporary Swiss scene. Made up of a heterogeneous group of artists of various nationalities, it has taken part in numerous international festivals in recent years, to great acclaim from audiences and critics. In Turin the ensemble will present Kaïros, sisifi e zombi in Italy for the first time, and in Italian. This entertaining, acrobatic play mixes together the rhythms and methods of a country fair, a circus improvisation, a physical dissertation on the concept of time and an existential investigation, inviting the audience to play a concrete role in the considerations that underpin the performance.
