For more than a year the theatre directors Elena Galvani and Jacopo Laurino selected and trained a group of non-professional actors, exploring the idea of a type of theatre profoundly linked to the local area and giving this the name of slow theatre. Sacrificio tells the story of the performance that they produced by mixing reality and fiction: a story of lack of communication, obsessive love, abuse of alcohol and drugs and castrating family relations, in comparison with the true stories of the young people who play the parts.
