Compagnia Carrozzeria Orfeo Stages ‘We Will Save the World before Dawn’
following explorations of marginalized figures, Compagnia Carrozzeria Orfeo now turns its gaze toward themes of affluence and perceived success with its latest production, “We Will Save the World Before Dawn.”
Directors Gabriele Di Luca, Massimiliano Setti, and Alessandro Tedeschi focus on the elite, the affluent, and those in positions of power. Paradoxically, these characters find themselves trapped in a similar cycle of stifling obligations, oppressive duties, guilt, and unhappiness that affects everyone. they are, therefore, overwhelmed by elements that capitalist ideals cannot procure: self-love, genuine emotions, sincere affection, and the pursuit of authentic meaning in life.
“We Will Save the World Before Dawn” unfolds within a luxury rehabilitation clinic situated on a space satellite, a novel destination catering to the ultra-rich.This clinic specializes in treating contemporary addictions, including those related to sex, emotions, work, and psychotropic substances.
According to Gabriele Di Luca, the production aims to depict an increasingly despondent society, saturated with idealized images, where individuals struggle to recognize themselves authentically or engage in meaningful social endeavors. Di Luca stated, “The prevailing directive seems to be relentless production. Mistakes are condemned, and personal suffering is perceived as a shameful burden to be concealed, signaling weakness.”
Di Luca added that resilience, in the cynical pragmatism of this ailing system, essentially translates to enduring at all costs, disregarding personal pain, and suppressing emotions. the new heroic spokesperson for capitalism must be affirmed in an increasingly petty and deceptive way: resilience, which, in the cynical pragmatism of this sick system, basically means: resist despite everything, ignores yourself and your pain, hiding it, do not listen to you more and go on.
Synopsis
As described in dramaturgy notes, “We Will Save the World before Dawn” centers on the lives of patients at an exclusive rehabilitation center orbiting Earth. These individuals grapple with various dependencies and selfish tendencies, seeking escape from an overwhelming reality.However, these addictions and the rehabilitation process merely represent superficial symptoms of deeper, existential issues—a shared sense of loss among an entire generation.
The production serves as a metaphor for a life model that has reached a critical juncture, where concepts like community, humanity, and kindness have largely vanished, except when exploited for propaganda, electoral gains, or commercial purposes. What remains is a disoriented and fearful populace, consumed by the relentless pressure to market oneself, haunted by the fear of rejection. The play explores these themes through Carrozzeria Orfeo’s signature style, employing a perceptive and frequently enough disillusioned lens to capture the paradoxes, contradictions, and grotesque distortions of reality through characters brimming with humanity, irony, and pain.
