The show was born from the necessity to translate onto the stage human frailty in the face of imposed patterns. It also takes us toward the rediscovery of nature (the deepest human one). Evelyn, the protagonist, finds herself living in an extreme situation, locked inside a cramped space, manipulated and bombarded by a constant and pressing presence of messages and information. She cannot be herself – she is alone and induced, transformed to the point of being comic and funny, but also tragic at times. An ironically dramatic journey through a daily life, punctuated by fake rituals.

About the show

Evelyn is a contemporary physical theatre piece by Piccolo Teatro Libero / Associazione Culturale LLUM at Space 2 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show translates human frailty in the face of imposed patterns onto the stage. Evelyn, the protagonist, finds herself locked inside a cramped space, manipulated and bombarded by a constant, pressing presence of messages and information. She cannot be herself — alone and induced, transformed to the point of being comic, funny, and at times tragic. It is an ironically dramatic journey through daily life, punctuated by fake rituals, and runs for 50 minutes. Suitable for ages 14 and over.

Why see this show?

A physical theatre piece that is both comic and unsettling — Evelyn trapped in a cramped space, overloaded with information and stripped of self. Timely, intelligent and performed with real craft by an Italian company.
