Muta Imago | reviews
(a+b)3
“An elegy on the tearing dynamics of separation, made through an extremely delicate inquiry on the liturgies of love and on those, far more painful, of an unsustainable absence. The show unfolds as a deep reflection on the infinite possibilities of theatre, where just a movement is enough in order to create a suggestion. On condition that one’s capable of transforming the emptiness of the stage in a poetic and narrative world, like these artists are, with an infinite mastery and with an even stronger, unlimited and extremely refined imagination.”
Antonio Audino
Il Sole 24 Ore
It’s a poor, extremely poor theatre, but full of ideas, visionarity and intensity: it’s the upstream theatre of a very young group from Rome, Muta Imago.
It’s surprising to find out how a so bare theatrical language manages to seduce and involve. There’s nothing for free or approximate: the semplicity that leads into poetry is made of a very precise work in which everything perfectly matches with the general picture of the show. The two performers are very talented in moving inside a space so tiny, in not mistaking one single shot.
Long, joyful and deserved applause.

“The language is thin, it works through assotiations, almost ironic, with dream-like charachteristics. This is the threshold of a new theatre.”

“The young group surprises for the rare ability to build an autonomous language, mastered with irony and enchantment”

“High illusionism that transforms a simple story – the simpliest possible: that of two lovers separated by war - in a ballet of apparitions and visions (…). War is the other from love because it’s the other from desire and from image: we needed these twenty year-old artists to distil again the immemorial essence of war from the alembic of the geopolitic banalizations and make us think again of the art of the last century as the long disintegration’s shake of the human face in front of the mirror of the wars.”

“With (a + b)3 Muta Imago shows a theatre language rich in power and surprise, a visionary and inventive language that without losing an inch in rigour brings along with itself a rare communicative capacity.”
