Official presentation of Brotti

«Manuela Zero, attrice e cantante, porta in scena sette storie di imperfezione, fragilità, dolore, solitudine e diversità.»

Text from the official Cultura Roma Capitale page (service translation: “Manuela Zero, actress and singer, brings to the stage seven stories of imperfection, fragility, pain, loneliness and diversity.”), source

«Brotti» lines up seven broken, isolated characters, each locked in the circle of their own pain. The title merges two Italian words, «brutti» (ugly) and «rotti» (broken), and the figures tell their stories with a tragicomic taste, like grotesque, timeless masks.

According to the official presentation, the themes are toxic love, loneliness, prejudice and violence, treated in the register of tragicomedy. The subtitle, «E tu non ridere che sei come loro!» (“And don't you laugh, because you are just like them!”), suggests that we are all a little battered by adversity, accidents and wrong feelings.

The text is by Manuela Zero and Davide Santi, the direction is by Davide Santi and Manuela Zero is on stage. There are two performances, on November 26 and 27.

The show is part of the season «Teatro Arena Domma - In scena al X», which runs from August 1 to December 18, 2026 and is curated by Frequenze e Armonici APS. The official page describes a program of theater, musical, great opera and training, with shows for all ages, tied to the notice «Lo spettacolo dal vivo fuori dal Centro 2026» (“Live performance outside the Center 2026”).
