Un viaggio a tutta velocità dentro il Tempo!

Video screening of a theatrical performance (1.30 hr; in Italian).

A black stage. A hospital bed. A strange looking metal chair. The old man is an Augusto Clown and his younger grandpa is the White Clown. The two have a surreal conversation both physical and verbal about time. The result is a touching and enlightening show: Science meets Waiting for Godot meets Saint Augustine meets Einstein to the rhythm of Radiohead!
