Thick morning fog, a market tent and a map of maps. And three questions. Who are we? Where are we? Where do we come from? From this uncertainty was born Blank maps, a journey out of time to tell the story of two old friends in search of one thing: something very precious that they both lost along the way.

Ponente and Levante meet in a deserted market. They return from a long trip, perhaps a journey that has lasted for years. The place is deserted, as if before a storm. None of the other stalls have been set up and no customers appear to be coming to meet them. They look at each other like lifelong friends, even if something doesn't add up. They have seen markets in every corner of the globe... They bring with winds that have always blown everywhere and so they have crossed the most modern cities and the most unusual caravanserais. The cities, the markets, the experiences they have had, have filled their suitcases and their eyes, but the meeting of their lives is about to give them the most beautiful story.

Language: Performed in English on Sunday 31 Aug and Friday 5 Aug, performed in Italian on Monday 1 September.
