Supermarket – A modern musical tragedy is a show out of the ordinary, full of original songs, surreal situations, laughter and poetry. At times without words. Because what happens inside a supermarket stays just like that.
Supermarket is a “non-musical” created with nine actors and a score of original songs, the sound atmospheres built with sounds and noises taken in a real supermarket and a series of announcements with an original dramaturgy. While what comes out of the speakers enchants and hypnotizes, the ritual of “gathering food” is performed between the shelves of the supermarket. Like the members of a tribe, we try to protect our loved ones by facing challenges, dangers, adversity … all to be able to fill the shopping cart, to be able to have stocks to overcome the winter, the month, the week. Structured as a tragicomedy, Supermarket starts with a surreal prologue. An alternation of comic situations turns into grotesque misadventures to those who are usually shopping: from waiting for their turn to quarreling at the counter.
At the center of the story are the people, with their moods, their feelings and their thoughts, and with the life that awaits them outside.
After seeing Supermarket it will no longer be possible to go shopping without bursting out laughing, without thinking of being inside a comedy show, a mass choreography, a musical out of time … without feeling like one of the protagonists of this exhilarating show.
