Elio Germano and Teho Teardo bring Pier Paolo Pasolini's Il sogno di una cosa to the stage, weaving together words and music. This, Pasolini's first novel, tells the story of three young men from Friuli on the cusp of adulthood as they confront the world: the poverty of their origins, political struggles, emigration, friendship, love, and ultimately, lost illusions.

Elio Germano's narrating voice and his physicality become resonant instruments of words and meanings, amplified by Teho Teardo's soundscapes. Together, with great sensitivity and intensity, they create an experience that is at once visual, sonic, and emotional.
