Il Disperato Wunderbaum

A modern tragedy with no way out.

In the past two years, many families have run into financial difficulties and family tensions have increased. The violence, anger and social distance have grown. Do we still have hope?

For Il disperato (The Desperate), Wunderbaum investigates how someone comes to an act of desperation. The question arises: when do we call something a monstrous act? French playwright François Mauriac says: What is that, a monster? I try to describe figures in which the sublime and the disgusting, the lowest impulses and the highest goals are inextricably linked. Those are my monsters.
