The game of new identities, change, increasingly obvious sexual appetites and the only precarious safety-belt in a childhood that is precipitating towards the need for growth; these are the issues tackled by Macadamia Nut Brittle, inspired in particular by the imagination of the novels by American writer Dennis Cooper. The main characters are three adolescents, who devour the Häagen-Dazs ice cream flavour that gives the play its name, irremediably forced to come to terms with an identity process that generates in them a sense of disorientation from a planet that is slipping away under their feet. The artistic duo of Ricci and Forte from Rome has stunned the Italian scene in recent years, proposing a violent, hyper-performing theatre, which shakes, entertains and shocks the spectator, divested of his usual parasitic role and invited to become the co-author of the play through his own reactions.
