We walk through the streets the tourists have left behind dirty. Hands in our pockets, hoodies on our heads. We look around: not a soul. Where are all the young people? Another dead season in this town. We feel like smashing everything up, shaking this world awake from its deathly quiet, in the hope that the animal in us will start howling again.

“Sometimes, when my ears itch, I think I’ve forgotten how to bite.
What a fantastic achievement: civilisation!
What a fantastic achievement: private property!
What a fantastic achievement: language!
Yeah, really, it makes you want to use them.”

Alice and Davide Sinigaglia are sister and brother. They come from a family of musicians and first came into contact with theatre at the SCARTI Production Centre for Theatrical Innovation in their hometown of La Spezia. Alice, b. 1996, studied Directing at the Paolo Grassi Academy of Theatre in Milan. Davide, b. 1999, studied Percussion at the La Spezia Conservatory and then trained as a performer. In 2023, Alice directed the first edition of TUTTA LA VITA DAVANTI (OUR WHOLE LIVES AHEAD OF US) in La Spezia for the elderly of the future, i.e. artists under 30. Their first collaborative performance together is a portrait of a generation and a theatrical hybrid. The beats, poetry, situation and acting are all rooted in music. It’s the starting point and the tool for their own revolt and a philosophical conundrum with the concept of civilization: being human – being animal – being yourself.
