(o Come Avere le Palle) 

A small boat, open sea, night. Two fishermen, Loris and Gu, are on the hunt for a creature that could turn their lives upside down. A violent game is played on the boat to understand who is more of a man. What is a man, anyway? ‘C19H28O2’ is the chemical formula of testosterone: this play is a voyage into a fragile and insecure masculinity. Femininity becomes the only unknown that the two protagonists cannot solve: without a microphone, without lights, she moves freely between the stage and the audience while they remain helpless spectators.
