The theater project I Prodotti involves a large number of people, including, first and foremost, a group of young Kenyan acrobats, the Afro Jungle Jeegs, who arrived in Italy bringing small performances of high and entertaining physical acrobatics, thanks to the support of Artificio23 and P.e.p.e. Produzioni.
Leonardo Pischedda, of Artificio23, a group that makes the intersection of genres the center of its research, proposed that the African acrobats interact with other artists such as those of Balletto Civile, an Italian physical theater company led from by Michela Lucenti that works from years favoring almost exclusively body language, song and dance.
The result was a long journey of training and work still in progress, a journey between Europe and Africa, which developed over two years, achieving a first accomplished result with the show I Prodotti, staged thanks to the artistic collaboration between Michela Lucenti and Leonardo Pischedda.

The performance is made up of individuals and their bodies, and tells a story bathed in white, which is the color of suspended things. Individuals dance and talk, and their actions need to show themselves, to reveal themselves with simple and direct tools. The show is about a kind of background noise, which can often be heard when everything else is silent, and how lives are immersed in the cold, even to Nairobi.
