With 'Spaghetti Western', several performers and theatre makers draw inspiration from the Italian film genre of the same name, the subversive counterpart to the classic American Western that reached its peak in the late 1960s.
Amid dirty plates, empty bottles, and shattered glasses, a world of cowboys, outlaws, heroes, and antiheroes unfolds. Someone's head is smashed in, just because. Christ's cross is blasted apart, and from its fragments a duel emerges.
Beginning with a prologue steeped in violence and cliché, 'Spaghetti Western' exposes the hypocrisy of contemporary neo-imperialist Western policies. The result is a satirical, epic-historical deconstruction of our (so called) postwar history.
