The Game of Desires The Game of Desires is a bookable 45-minute performance for four spectators or participants.

- in english language -

In a game situation, sitting together at a round table, they find out which desires and hopes determine their lives. There are no fictional characters and no plot, just the performer Nullo Facchini from Copenhagen and his small audience. Everyone takes part in the game on an equal footing, faces up to the challenge of the game and approaches it with the same sincerity. The Game of Desires is part of Nullo Facchini's performance Hidden Number, which was honoured with the Danish Reumert Award for the best performance of the year in 2018. The Game of Desires is one of Nullo Facchini's ‘human specific performances’ - a performance format in which the content of the performance is determined by the members of the audience, who simultaneously become the main actors in the performance. In his ‘human specific performances’, Nullo Facchini always creates an atmosphere in which all participants feel comfortable and in good hands. Together, they embark on a playful journey of discovery and perhaps make completely new experiences about themselves and their lives.

As an experienced performer and director, Nullo Facchini / Tantou was invited by pad e.V. to develop and coach the new production ‘It's Your Life’ by and with Peter Schulz, which will be shown in Mainz in winter 2024.

In Bad Kreuznach, the new rehearsal space of pad, Nullo will present his performance game for the first time in Germany.

For November 2024 it is planned to show the two performances Re(W)rite and The Game of Desires by Nullo Facchini together with the new pad production It’s Your Life as a series of human specific performances in Mainz.
