The child god

Set in a metaphorical dilapidated club, with chairs and tables chaotically thrown on the floor, among half-empty bottles and trampled flowers to tell a sort of party gone wrong, "Il dio bambino" was written by Giorgio Gaber and Sandro Luporini in 1993, following that particular theatrical path "of evocation" that Gaber was leading in those years. The show, directed by Giorgio Gallione, is a long, complex and tragicomic monologue interpreted by the multifaceted Fabio Troiano, and arrives on the stage of the Apollo Theatre on the occasion of the municipal theatre season. It is an ordinary love story, of a man confronted by a woman, which flows in front of the audience, the best witness to question its consistency, the man's presumed virility and his degree of maturity. And between playfulness and despair, comedy and moments of intimate depth, they will try to understand whether or not the man has succeeded in becoming an adult or has remained hopelessly childish, a child who boasts of his charming spontaneity instead of being ashamed of his eternal boyhood.
