What does the word “hate” mean to you?
Do you hate someone or something? (…)  

[ÒDIO] is a polyphonic work that resonates like a choral dramaturgy, weaving together contrasting perspectives and accounts on the proliferation of violence that emerged from the encounter with dozens of young people of different nationalities and backgrounds.
[ÒDIO] is a 90-minute film-documentary that storms into the present, welcoming and mixing faces and answers (to the same 20 questions) of the participants – whom we want to thank! It is a film in three chapters that we shot by placing a blue photographic backdrop in schools, cultural spaces and foster homes, starting in Rimini, then Rome (in the Quarticciolo neighbourhood) and Hamburg.
[ÒDIO] is the culmination of our long theatrical exploration of Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus, which began in 2023. The triggering event is the transformative moment of the creature who, when it starts to perceive itself as irrevocably rejected and excluded because of its non-conforming appearance, turns love into untameable hatred.
[ÒDIO] is also a journey into contemporary “darkness”, haunted by fascist and authoritarian revivals, in an attempt to understand – as Şeyda Kurt writes – and not just condemn!
It is an invitation to imagine, despite “all the shit around us”, a society of radical tenderness.
