Let us speak of art and of the art market. And let us do so with music, songs and humour, telling the tale, one hundred per cent true, of an artist who, in the 1960s, filled tins with his excrement and sold them at exorbitant prices.
Do you remember Pegados, the pocket musical that told the story of a couple who had started playing the games of love but could not find a way to end them, a production that, against all odds, became a hit? Well, the team behind Pegados now presents a new musical comedy based on the life of Piero Manzoni, a conceptual artist who became famous by selling tins labelled “Artist’s Shit”, many of which are still kept in bank vaults around the world. Merda d’artista narrates a fictional story based on reality, whilst presenting an acid, ironic portrait of the art market at a certain point in time. The piece features hilarious, witty, quickfire dialogues, as well as music that pays tribute to the great classical musicals and to 20th-century Italian music. In short, the story in music of a man who turned shit into gold!
