Two twin brothers: one has a moustaches, the other one doesn't, one stutters, the other talks fluently. They smell of sweets and listen to the radio: music, a lot of music. The pastry shop is their home. A world that stopped at 4am: melted chocolate, puff pastry light like feather, sponge cake, meringues like snow, arabic fry, almond biscuit and bavarese... Everything moves, flies, dances and slips in everywhere. Like Cyrano and Cristiano, they wait for their Rossana. Where else but in the pastry shop do you want to wait for her?
But in addition to flour, butter and chocolate, the ingredients for the pièce are the roaring musics (Lou Reed, Rolling Stones, Prince) and a certain subtle comicity, made of stunned glances, effective gestures and irreverent ballets (...) the sweets, the real ones, leave on the palate the memory of a unique flavour. Like the successful recipe of the alchemy of "Pastry chefs". (Tiziana Carpinelli - Il piccolo)

LEONARDO CAPUANO revealed himself to the audience in the double role of actor and author with various monologues, like La cura, Zero Spaccato, La sofferenza inutile, Elettrocardiodramma and Sistema Nervoso. He also worked with Renata Palminiello in the show Due, with the company Lombardi-Tiezzi in The birds by Aristofane, with Alessandro Serra in Macbettu. For a few years he's been working steadily with Umberto Orsini and conducts workshops on the actor work, with an approach linked to physicity of the gesture and of the voice, for instance How to be on stage, is the title of the workshop conducted at PimOff in the season 22/23.
ROBERTO ABBIATI is actor, musician and illustrator. Together with Bano Ferrari and Carlo Pastori founds the Teatro d'Artifici. From his passion for Moby Dick arises Una tazza di mare in tempesta, winner of the Fiesole for Arts award, followed by the book Un tentativo di balena, edited by Adelphi in 2011, written by Matteo Codignola and illustrated by Abbiati himself. In the cinema field, he works with Carlo Mazzacurati in the movies La giusta distanza and La Passione. He founds a theatre in Salvador de Bahia, in one of the most violent neighborhood of the city. In the season 21/22 he brought on stage at PimOff his latest work Circo Kafka, freely inspired from The Trial by Franz Kafka.
