Hell is Empty

Coproduction Le Gymnase CDCN
With the support of l’Oiseau-Mouche

The machinery. By laying bare the inner workings of the spectacle – amongst the cranks and pulleys – Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi expose the cogs of power. The duo dissects the relationship between beauty and cruelty, transforming the audience into complicit witnesses to a trap that is closing in. Through the powerful symbolism of the colour red, the aesthetic of Hell is Empty is striking. When the stage is nothing more than another form of manipulation.
