Inspired by a true story, "Stretto tra i denti" is a show that tells a borderless, boundless, toothless journey in search of a new smile.
A surreal adventure that attempts to leave behind a wretched reality of missed, postponed, and chewed smiles caused by human and economic misery.
A bus in the night collects various groups of losers to reach a clinic in Croatia, where implants are done at excellent prices that will leave no regrets.
The light of the following day will shine on new flawless smiles, without plaque. Life, squeezed between teeth, can be bitten into again.
Now, those who may still lack bread will at least have teeth.
