Season 2026/27
Perfetti Sconosciuti
a play by Paolo Genovese
The show
Each of us has three lives: a public one, a private one and a secret one. Paolo Genovese's first work as a stage director.
At a dinner party, a group of friends play a game of truth: every phone on the table, every message and call shared. A sparkling comedy about friendship, love and betrayal, in which four couples discover they are perfect strangers.

A sparkling comedy about friendship, love and betrayal, in which four couples of friends confront each other and discover that they are 'perfect strangers'.
Each of us has three lives: a public one, a private one and a secret one
Once, the secret one was well protected in the archive of our memory; today, in our SIM cards.
Cosa succederebbe se quella minuscola schedina si mettesse a parlare?
