With Horned and Happy, Marco Travaglio returns to the stage with his sharp satire and his usual ironic and documented style. A theatrical monologue in which the journalist retraces with sarcasm and lucidity the last years of Italian politics, among messed-up governments, complacent media and resigned citizens. The title – provocative and sarcastic – is the mirror of a society accustomed to suffering without reacting, to becoming indignant with words and then returning to the usual tran trance.
Travaglio reveals hypocrisies, contradictions and behind the scenes of power, dismantling the mechanisms of contemporary communication and information. A show that combines journalism, theatre and civil denunciation, capable of making people think and laugh at the same time. On stage only a desk, a few objects and the power of words: as always, it is the content that strikes. Horned and happy is an unmissable event for those who want to understand, smile bitterly and stay with their minds on.
Travaglio signs another acute and corrosive performance, in the sign of civil theatre.
