Christmas Game – The Hypocrisy of Love’s Game

Christmas Game – The Hypocrisy of Love’s Game is a theatrical work written and directed by Sergio Urbani, offering a lucid and provocative look at the contradictions of contemporary human beings.

Set in an apparently light and convivial atmosphere, the performance builds a web of stories and relationships that gradually reveal deep cracks, hidden tensions and uncomfortable truths. What begins as a game — social, emotional, sentimental — progressively turns into a direct confrontation with the hypocrisy that permeates human relationships.

Through incisive writing and dynamic staging, Urbani highlights the mechanisms of pretence, the masks and the compromises that shape love and relationships, leading the audience to question how much authenticity remains in today’s bonds. The work has been described as bold and irreverent, capable of laying bare the hypocrisy of modern man.

An ensemble piece that is intense and contemporary, alternating irony and tension, lightness and depth, guiding the audience through an emotional journey whose true protagonist is the fragile balance between what we are and what we choose to show.
