The extracts I chose for the piece are taken from the theatre play “Pornobboy”, by the experimental Italian Theatre Company Babilonia Teatri. Here’s a short description from the Authors:

“Pornobboy is a snap shot of our time. Of reality and its contradictions. It sniffs out for our incoherence, to laugh at them. Cynically. Lovingly. The core of the show is the constant bombing by media. The way we live and perceive all that, our being part of it, the need to show, to show off, to watch, to see everything. We live under the cross fire of an addictive communication system. We are morbidly attracted by pornographic elements, by gruesome details, by news commentaries that only report facts without ever questioning their causes and effects. There is an invincible incapability to divide what’s public from what’s private, a perpetual intertwining of levels, a sort of schizophrenia nourishing us every day. Pornobboy is not a preach on sex, it’s a blob on our saturate present. Everything is pornographically put on show, we all gloat on it, we are scandalized by it, we drown in it.”
