It debuted in its full version in 2021 in Rome, where it is scheduled for three consecutive seasons. It is included in programs, events, and festivals in various regions, where it receives good public and critical acclaim for its original content and the relevance of its narrative.

The plot is very intriguing. Night of San Lorenzo. Three friends meet in a park on the night of the stars. After seeing a huge shooting star, the three clumsy friends, driven by alcohol-induced altered states, dream of doing something great and jokingly come up with the idea of ​​founding a political party with ironic and parodic traits, with the ambition of achieving the biggest failure of their lives. However, something even more unpredictable is about to happen to them…

Alieni Nati is a dystopian comedy with a plot that only appears surreal, but draws deep inspiration from reality and its most extreme and bizarre manifestations. From the Pastafarians to the colonization of Mars, passing through Elon Musk, a strange journey through possible and utopian worlds. Three friends – “children of a world that makes them feel distant and disoriented as if they were ALIENS” – found a satirical political party as a mere public provocation. A simple joke to fill an evening… Three characters (a philosopher/anthropologist, a self-taught astrophysicist, and a writer) who represent three great human traits: the drive for constant progress of man, the defense of Nature, and finally the folly of the common man, always the same no matter what happens. Three different points of view that all lead to the same questions about contemporary society: can we still think of changing the world, or is it time to change worlds? Save the old or create a new one? And above all: what is a just world? The drive for change that clashes with the dream of escape, of alienation, of new lands and planets to conquer, with the illusion that elsewhere we will be able to build a perfect world.

With a dry, modern, and colloquial language, Alieni Nati satirically tells the dynamics of an increasingly crisis-ridden world. A crisis caused by man and to which man does not know how to react. The spirit of adaptation that allowed us to bend the world to our needs as Homo Sapiens has been completely lost. We are at the mercy of ourselves, unable to rebalance ourselves among the multiple needs of individuals all different. The drive for progress clashes with the need to conserve, in the middle there is the chaos of those who ignore and do not address the problem, a new human species, the child of the Sapiens, but which perhaps marks its end: the Homo Demens.
