Dk Radio Funeral Party was born from the deliberate collision of two seemingly incompatible worlds: the burlesque and chaotic universe of the Marx Brothers, and the critical, structured, and revolutionary thought of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.
This project is a playful and poetic attempt to bring the absurd into dialogue with the political, the comic with the tragic, ideology with contemporary confusion. It is an exploration of disorientation, of the loss of points of reference — spatial, temporal, and identity-related — that characterises our age.

On stage, two wandering souls, motionless inside a stationary car, move through multiple incarnations: mythical, historical, popular, sacred, and profane figures. In this web of masks and avatars, the narrative deconstructs itself in order to reveal more clearly one essential question: what are we waiting for? And who are we waiting for? Waiting becomes a shared mental space here, fertile ground for doubt, humour, provocation, and utopia.
The radio — the dramaturgical and sonic engine of the performance — connects dimensions, disrupts chronology, and breaks down the boundaries between stage and audience, between reality and fiction.
From his invisible studio, the DJ orchestrates the chaos: shaping the rhythm, introducing ruptures, and making bodies and ideas dance.

DK RADIO is a work about impasse and escape, about hope that endures and absurdity that illuminates. It draws equally from Beckett and pop cinema, from Marxist dialectics and psychedelic funk, from stand-up comedy and dance ritual. Our intention is not to provide answers, but to open a space of perception in which the audience may laugh, reflect, lose themselves and — perhaps — rediscover something deeply human in the vertigo of nonsense.

Founded in 2001, Tony Clifton Circus presents itself like a luminous sign made of flashing coloured light bulbs, announcing the arrival of something unexpected.
The project was born following a significant encounter with Anthony Jerome Clifton, a more or less unknown Italian-American artist whose aesthetic can be summed up in four words: “life is strange.” This “circus of anomaly” was founded by Nicola Danesi de Luca and Iacopo Fulgi. It is difficult to trace a continuous aesthetic line in their work: what they seek to bring to the stage is strangeness, discomfort. They love to make people laugh, but even more to make that laughter catch in the spectator’s throat. Their aim is not to please, but to provoke. Their performances are true experiences of extreme comedy, where unrestrained absurdity and poetic elegance collide.
