Sotto Berlino is the last of three in a German trilogy.

Berlin, 1945. The wine cellar of an apartment building has become the home of five characters escaping the threat of the bombs.

A microcosm of cohabitation these five souls who do not want to be in this situation are imagining escapes and escaping in their imagination.

This is an agonizing cry of a group of people that do not have the ‘privilege’ of being recognized victims. It is the sad song of death of all those, that have spent long days of their lives occupied with the fear of death.

In our common historical memory, WW2 is characterized by the fact that we knew who the bad guys and who the good guys were. Presented in this play are those who have lived that conflict as passive, inactive victims, incapable of reacting or understanding what was going on.

Written in 1997 Presented at ‘put en espace’ in Enzymes 2000, has made its debut in Rome at the Village Theatre 2000, and then revived again in Rome in May 2002.
