QUEI 2 [THOSE 2] = Marcella Vanzo for Gogmagog, costumes by Lucrezia Pizzetti. 

Adam and Eve, reality and fiction, mythology and trash. 
2010: Gogmagog collaborate on Rumors, a performance by Marcella Vanzo at Teatro Studio in Scandicci. 
2013: Vanzo writes for them QUEI 2, inspired by the Diary of Adam and Eve by Mark Twain. 
Their relationship is ironic, fast, contemporary.
Daily life is ridiculous, Twain is a myth in the present, trenchant and funny.
Eden is TV in the 80’s.
Adam is the TV host, Eve is the diva. The match is between Eve’s exuberant femininity and Adam’s highly mistreated logic, while the two are continuously interrupted by animals passing by. Earth is a banal, battered, boring place. Adam now does accept his love for Eve, yet does not know how to handle the unnerving presence of a son.

QUEI 2 opened in February 2014 at Teatro Studio Scandicci and in April at Teatro Valle Occupato, Rome. In January 2015 its debut in Milan at Zona K.
