A Number

By Caryl Churchill

THEATRE

With Giuseppe Pestillo and Massimo Rigo
Scenes and direction by Luca Mazzone

read all

On 5 July 1996, an event occurred that would change the fate of science and eugenics. In fact, this was the first example of the cloning of a living being: that of the sheep Dolly. She would not survive long, just enough time to generate reflections on the concept of uniqueness and identity. A replica that can undermine the "I" and the "We".
