SYNOPSIS:
In this Roman Pantomime with a clearly contemporary reading, we approach a story that, through the comedy genre, weaves together an intricate and dizzying plot of characters in the pure style of Plautus. Zeno, the old servant of the family, experiences the tragedy of Falorius, the young master of the house, helped and encouraged by Proculus, his servant and party companion, squandering the estate of his old father, Theoropides, during his absence. Falorius has lost his head for Vulvinia, a slave well educated by Poncia, his wet nurse, whom he courts, wasting considerable sums, to make her his wife. Faced with the unexpected return of Theoropides, Proculus, using a curse, tries to prevent him from entering his own house.
A comedy of intrigue between masters, slaves, lies and ghosts, where when authority is lacking, debauchery takes hold of anyone. A fun journey to a dystopian reality with traces of ancient Rome, where physical and gestural work take on great importance in the acting work and in the relationship between characters.
