A bit of a training novel, a bit of a funny and thoughtful biography, a bit of a catalogue of stumbling blocks and the joy of living. 

My badly told life tells us that if it is true that we take a lifetime to become ourselves, when we look back the road is well marked by a trail of choices, intuitions, moments, electrocutions and mistakes, often tragicomic or paradoxical. Drawing on Francesco Piccolo's enormous and varied literary heritage, the show unfolds in an eccentric sequence of stories and situations that inexorably and bizarrely build a life that is reflected in everyone's life. Claudio Bisio moves in this varied and surprising texture accompanied by two exceptional musicians, to build an exciting score, often deep but also playfully superficial, personal, ideal, civil and ethical.
