Misurare il salto delle rane

Measuring the Frog Leap is Carrozzeria Orfeo's new dark comedy, a show that weaves irony, mystery, and poetry into an intense tale dedicated to the fragilities and contradictions of human beings.

Set in the 1990s in a small fishing village isolated between a lake and a swamp, the story follows the stories of Lori, Betti, and Iris, three women from different generations but united by a tragic event that occurred twenty years earlier. Never truly processed grief continues to impact their lives, fueling secrets, questions, and silences that permeate the entire community.

Between sharp dialogues, paradoxical situations, and moments of intense emotion, the show constructs a profound portrait of the female world, focusing on themes such as identity, freedom, the weight of social conventions, and the ability to be reborn despite pain. The three protagonists confront losses, desires, and changes, intertwining relationships of complicity, conflict, and mutual support.

With his unmistakable style, which alternates corrosive comedy and lyricism, Measuring the Frog Leap explores the boundary between tragedy and comedy, recounting the search for a balance between who we are and who we would like to become. An engaging and contemporary show that invites reflection on the strength of human relationships and the possibility of transforming pain into a new opportunity in life.
