Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams is a comic, grotesque show that uses sugar as a metaphor as it tackles themes of pleasure and addiction.Luigi Ciotta takes the role of a candyfloss street vendor who engages with the public just as a street performer would, with the only exception that his is an invite to hedonistic and sugary pleasure! A candyfloss seller is an innocent character who merrily invites you to leave your worries behind and forget about the consequences; it’s only a little sugar, after all! His candyfloss cart looks like it comes right out of a fairy-tale with sweet music pouring out of it as it passes by. The candyfloss seller’s words slowly but surely become ever more forced and sickly-sweet.
