about

„Dice che sono pazzesca, sarà il fascino della tedesca. Vuole uno spicchio della mia pesca, mmmh frutta fresca“. (M¥SS KETA, Pazzesca)

The performance project FRUTTA FRESCA by Marco Merenda shows an open deconstruction process. Two Italian performers appropriate a number of Italian-related cultural stereotypes through choreography, physical theatre and spoken word, thus creating two “hyper-Italian”, drag-inspired characters. Throughout the performance, they will search for their true, authentic self - their identity beyond external, culturally conditioned attributions – by getting rid of their disguise piece by piece. Drawing upon personal experience as well as theoretical discourse, FRUTTA FRESCA aims at highlighting the fine line between appreciation, exoticisation and ascription of identity.

As a "Tedescho" traveling through the history of Italian music, I continuously confronted myself with the question: when does collecting and re-arranging become problematic? Am I entitled to use an Italian opera that I grew up with as a German orchestra boy? Can I use Gianna Nannini, whom my dad used to listen to in the car when we went on vacation? Are songs property of someone and when does romanticization of something turn into gringe and cultural appropriation?
