The opening image of the performance is a copy of a photography published by an American newspaper September 12th 2001. The dust-covered man opens his mouth, he begins to talk. It evolves into a penetrating monologue about September 11th, about politics, about USA, about fundamentalism. Leo Bassi demonstrates that it is fully possible to make entertaining, present theatre about the most serious of events.
