Over the course of the Dialoghi residency at Villa Manin, Sotterraneo will produce Overload, a project in which theatre is challenged to reproduce the mechanisms of the infosphere. Stimulus overload, reduction of the attention threshold and continuous associations between distant things, in an almost toxic pursuit of new information.

In the attempt to create a live hypertext, Sotterraneo weaves a drama based on continuous mass distraction, where everything is interrupted to move on to something else, reproducing the sense of confusion that nowadays characterizes the reality of western daily life. Overload brings into theatre the logics of augmented reality, presenting itself as a bulimic and schizophrenic form of entrainment, with the aim of investigating the meaning of the accelerations produced by new technologies.

Sotterraneo was founded in Florence in 2005 as a research group. It consists of a permanent group of authors, assisted by a cluster of collaborators that change with each project. With transversal works and a composite investigation of forms and contents, Sotterraneo moves across formats, from open stage theatre, to site specific work and performance, concentrating on the contradictions and the shaded areas of our time. They take an avant-pop approach, attempting to narrate the present by balancing collective imagery and the most anti-conventional thinking.
