Katzelmacher is a Fassbinder's text, in which the title refers to a deprecatory expression used to define the Italian immigrants in Germany in the 70's.

Starting from Fassbinder words we analyzed the theme of the racism based as on the fear of the different as on the desire of the different, that are two aspects of only one attitude full, in any case, of cruelity.

We developed, in different phases of the residencies, a study on the thread that connect the chorus, the pack, the group, the society, as dots who swing on the same line and that regulate in function of time and space, different ways to relate with difference and desire.

Bringing the reflection, faced in the Residency, at it's extreme theatre consequences, trough the language contamination and “the invention” of an other language, foreign even to the audience, we go straight to build a chorus, that with his bodies, voices, in the naked space, that's “it's enough to himself”, and in a metaphorical way make itself the only element necessary to its life, as some social group, that if do not implode, explode in intolerance and fear of the difference, do.
