Scissors&Madness is the story of a day in which the quiet life of gossip, in a hairdresser’s salon (frequented by impatient, ambiguous, eccentric and snobbish characters, in a succession of hilarious situations), is interrupted by the murder of an old pianist, who lives upstairs. But, twist, everyone present has a motive, which would justify the crime. We will try to solve the mystery. As? Transforming the spectators into witnesses, determining with their comments the progress of the action, up to deciding who the culprit is with a different ending every evening.

Scissors&Madness it is a show with two opposing natures that reinforce each other: that of the detective story, which must lead to understanding who the murderer is, and that of comedy, which arises from the game of interaction with the audience (which is never forced to participation) who becomes progressively passionate until he becomes the only possible judge.

Scissors&Madness returns in the version staged ten years ago by Marco Rampoldi, who makes use of performers with the dual nature of prose and cabaret, in order to support the rigor of the story and the freshness of the improvisation; and who, for this return, finds, now as protagonists, Max Pisu and Nino Formicola, who, in recent years, have further refined their acting nature, also becoming close as a comic couple, in the very successful Cena dei Cretini. Alongside them, the ambiguously mysterious Giancarlo Ratti, Lucia Marinsalta, Roberta Petrozzi, and, to support the commissioner, the unlikely chosen agent Giorgio Verduci, make their debut as possible culprits. A show that is a dynamic explosion, absolutely different every night.
