Abisso umoristico e pulsione dionisiaca nel teatro di Nicola Vicidomini

This essay explores the distinctive theatrical style of Nicola Vicidomini, a performer who fuses grotesque comedy, extreme vocal experimentation, and physical expression to craft a deeply Dionysian poetic humor. Through works such as Scapezzo and Fauno, Vicidomini deconstructs language and traditional narrative, creating a chaotic, deformed, and visceral stage presence that induces catharsis in the audience. His theatre challenges anthropocentrism, evoking an archaic return to lyrical tragedy, where comedy emerges as an excess of tragedy itself.
