NATIONAL PREMIERE DEBUT AT THE LECITE VISIONI FESTIVAL OF THE FILODRAMMATICI THEATRE IN MILAN
Seven years ago, a young gay Neapolitan posted an invitation to a gay dating chat to play a game of five-a-side football. The first few people signed up, and within a few weeks, the "little game" became a regular occurrence, so much so that the boys decided to form a full-fledged team, calling themselves "Pochos," meaning "street urchins" in Spanish, in honor of the soccer player Lavezzi.
During a presentation evening attended unexpectedly by the press, the young footballers are forced to publicly address their homosexuality. Thus begins the "great night of the Pochos," in which each of them is forced to confront their fears. For many, that night marks the beginning of a journey of liberation.
Starting from this story, Benedetto Sicca has developed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EygL_JjM4oUto, within the Cantiere Sartoria of the Teatro Sannazaro, a space for experimenting with scenic writing, a creative residence which today becomes a new production: Pochos.
A show about our sexual habits, our desires, and our love of football, in which the audience is invited to reflect lightheartedly on their own sexuality and how desires can be a source of liberation.
