The first volume on the work of Antonio Syxty as a performance artist and director of Milan's alternative scene, built from images, drawings and texts from his archive. Tied to underground creativity and to the Out Off, Milan's only basement theatre, it draws on more than twenty-five shows and performances staged between 1978 and 1982: drawings, collages, photographs and texts. A knowingly incomplete overview, it ends with a fragmented list of purely textual scenes joined by a thin black thread, the only colour in the book. It contains three unpublished critical essays.
