***
‘Una obra sublime tan brutal.’
El País (Spain)
‘Extraordinary, uncompromising and entirely unforgettable. Rich, absorbing worlds that suck you in and shake you up, leaving you disorientated, disturbed and exhilarated’
★★★★ The Times (UK)
‘Um ato de revolta e libertade. Na sua ira discursiva, com verdades e delírio, o que surge é o ser humano entrevisto e retratado na alta literatura’
Estadão (Brazil)
‘Extraordinary, terrifying and hard to taste, hard to ignore. A piece so literally and metaphorically naked, raw and angry that you leave the theatre feeling as if you’ve had all your skin scraped off’
★★★★ The Guardian (UK)
‘Gallerano’s visceral performance will stay with you for years’
★★★★★ The Stage (UK)
‘Think Beckett on steroids. A furious stream-of-consciousness.’
The Georgia Straight (Canada)
‘Devastating stream of consciousness. One of the most wonderfully full–on performance ever seen’
★★★★ The Scotsman (UK)
‘È come entrare in un circo. La belva pronta, sul trampolo. Guarda, annuisce, ruggisce. Di fronte a lei, senza alcun riparo, tutti i domatori. La Merda, di Cristian Ceresoli, fra le decine e decine di premi, vinti in tutto il mondo, non è uno spettacolo. È un’esperienza. Assoluta. Quindici minuti di applausi finali. Imperdibile.’
La Repubblica (Italy)
‘Estamos falando da verdadeira revolução pretendida pelo cineasta Píer Paolo Pasolini’
★★★★ Folha de São Paulo (Brazil)
‘It is anti fascist as well as anti abuse; against people who play for power over others. Parts of this show are so politically incorrect that they come at you from unexpected angles. Certainly the whole piece is pushing boundaries of theatre in new ways.’
The Advertiser (Australia)
‘How a culture of celebrity feeds a returning tide of European neo-Nazism’
ABC (Australia)
‘Teater, der virkelig vil os noget’
★★★★★ Politiken (Denmark)
‘Brash, brutal, beastly, yet beautiful. Raw, touching, intelligent and mesmerising. Unforgettable.’
★★★★ The List (UK)
Utterly compelling verbal symphony. Somewhat perversely, the compelling honesty
of what follows is simply irresistible’
★★★★ The Herald (UK)
‘Il monologo rivoluzionario.’
Il Sole 24 Ore (Italy)
‘Una voce s’è desta. Un grido di dolore. Uno stimolo a liberare il nostro paese.’
L’Unità (Italy)
‘This is skin in the tradition of Artaud and it is powerful, political & poetic.’
★★★★★ Examiner (USA)
‘A manifest of anger and tenderness, a stand-up tragedija’
Ore (Lithuania)
‘Pragtfuld Silvia Gallerano sig i det mest forbløffende monolog-manuskript siden.’
★★★★★ GregersDH (Denmark)
***
‘Desperate and chilling, a fierce commentary on a society spinning helplessly towards barbarism; it blazes with the kind of poetic and theatrical energy that leaves audiences not depressed, but exhilarated and empowered.’
★★★★ The Scotsman (UK)
‘A play that surprises like surrealism and sounds like a symphony,
angry, passionate and compelling.’
Total Theatre (UK)
’An incredibly acted, grotesquely comedic and brutal journey
through a fascist, totalitarian landscape.’
★★★★ The Wee Review (UK)
‘A larger than life performance’
The Independent (UK)
Seductive & innocent.
★★★★★ Gregers (Denmark)
Violent and scary.
★★★★★ Ungt Teaterblod (Denmark)
Inevitable.
★★★★ Sceneblog (Denmark)
Strong and rhythmic.
★★★★ Kulturtid (Denmark)

MEDVIRKENDE DANICA CURCIC
INSTRUKTION SIMON BOBERG
Hun er ung. Hun er vred. Hun er nøgen. Og ordene vælter som en syndflod ud af munden på hende. Rasende afslører hun sine inderste hemmeligheder fra et liv med fornedrelse, desperation og spiseforstyrrelser, mens hun stædigt kæmper for at slå igennem som berømthed i et samfund, hvor tynde lår har større værdi end personlighed og frihed. Men hvad skal der til for at blive kendt, og hvor langt vil hun gå i jagten på de forløsende 15 sekunders berømmelse?
Stortalentet Danica Curcic står alene på scenen, når Husets Teater præsenterer en unik dansk version af den opsigtsvækkende italienske monologsucces, LA MERDA, som siden verdenspremieren på Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2012 har turneret og vundet et hav af priser over hele Europa.
