Non Tutti i Ladri Vengono per Nuocere: The Virtuous Burglar

When a seemingly ordinary burglar breaks into an elegant apartment, he expects an easy night’s work. However, as the owners, and their lovers, arrive unexpectedly, the burglar finds himself tangled in a whirlwind of mistaken identities, secret affairs, and desperate improvisations. Each lie spirals into another, showcasing the chaos that ensues within a web of deceit.

This performance is in Italian and accessible for a non-Italian speaking audience – participate in this experiment to ask how an English-speaking audience can understand the play.

This project was produced in collaboration with the 2025 Being Human Festival.
