After the Battle (Dopo la battaglia/ 110 min)
Written and Directed by Pippo Delbono

An interdisciplinary work combining theatre, music and dance, and forging new territory in the career of prize-winning Italian writer, actor, and director Pippo Delbono. Delbono stretches the boundaries of his theatrical language and deepens his investigation of the relationship between body and text, action and sound.

Delbono draws his inspiration from encounters with social outcasts. Stemming from his firm belief that people on the margins can understand the truth better than “normative” people, he incorporates these performers in his theatre groups and works, weaving a subtle and unique human fabric. In this theatrical event, Delbono’s theatre group mixes up a brew of irony, provocation, and tenderness, peppered with music, dance, and poetic texts.
