Stefano Accorsi, award winning actor from Bologna, among the most acclaimed in the Italian cinema, makes his return to the theatre with a new performance written and directed by Daniele Finzi Pasca.

In a city where football is a fever, love and passion, four friends look back on their lives, stir up memories and try to recover a serenity that has fallen to pieces. In their naivety, they share one unique quality: a mad obsession for their home team and their original, fable-like childhoods. They are made of simple ingredients like bread, but on Sundays, at the stadium, they allow themselves to be carried away by a fury that never fails to sweep them up and shatter them. There is joy, bitterness, irony and a great desire to smile when they recall the victories, moments of ecstasy, defeats and tragedies that they have shared over the years.
A story about simple people, united in an enduring friendship that helps them face life as they hold each other in a delirious and touching embrace.

“I believe it’s clowns who inhabit my stories given that they whisper, trip, laugh and are moved […]. I had the good fortune to meet Stefano Accorsi, Luciano Scarpa, Sasà Piedepalumbo and Luigi Sigillo, actors full of humanity, craftsmanship and passion. With them it was easy to breathe life into this little rhapsody devoted to those who never give up”.
