A man faces a night marked by surreal happenings: a moka pot pours coffee without ever running out, a plant pot comes to life, the most disparate objects appear from the bed. The protagonist comes to terms with his own inner reality.
DispensaBarzotti is a company founded in 2019 by Alessandra Ventrella and Rocco Manfredi. It is based in France. Their shows explore a language suspended between reality and magic.
