UNO SPETTACOLO NUOVO DI ZECCA CON MARILYN MONROE, CHARLIE CHAPLIN E LA BOMBA ATOMICA
Testimone della caduta dell’Impero Americano in questo “racconto straordinario di vittoria, ipocrisia e ignoranza” Nuclear Love Affair è una produzione piena di fisicità, presentando Elvis che balla in Vietnam, Charli Chaplin a Hiroshima e Marlin Monroe che ci spiega come fare a “Duck and Cover”. Come una coraggiosa evoluzione del sogno americano, Nuclear Love Affair si concentra sul periodo 1941—1969, tracciando l’ossessione americana con violenza, attraverso la reazione sociale e politica causata una volta lanciata la bomba atomica. Ritmi snervanti, parole disturbanti e un violento slapstick si scontrano per creare un’esplosione di cultura pop erotica in questa multimediale visione dell’Era Atomica.
A BOLD NEW SPECTACLE STARRING MARILYN MONROE, CHARLIE CHAPLIN, AND THE ATOMIC BOMB
Witness the fall of the American Empire in this “extraordinary tale of victory, hypocrisy and ignorance.” Nuclear Love Affair is a physically charged production, featuring Elvis dancing through Vietnam, Charlie Chaplin at Hiroshima, and Marilyn Monroe teaching us how to “Duck and Cover.” A daring take on the evolution of the American Dream, Nuclear Love Affair focuses on the period of 1941-1969, tracing America’s obsession with violence through the social and political chain reaction caused by dropping the atomic bomb. Unnerving rhythms, disturbing text, and violent slapstick collide to create an erotic pop culture explosion in this multimedia investigation of the Atomic Age.

“This play is spectacular…the general feeling is one of awe that this play has taken key moments not of history but of the feeling of the time, and gently problematized them to produce a great piece of entertainment that is well acted and wonderfully executed. And there’s nothing wrong with having such a handsome cast.” -Prague Post
