… the presence of Irene Urciuoli, an Italian performer who has been in Fabre's company for six years, emerges: delicate and concrete, she stands out for her precision and suppleness, her physical and evocative strength in the struggle for the power of beauty
What is QUESTIONING?
The original text by Jan Fabre, performed in Italian with English surtitles, is enhanced by the intense interpretation of the excellent Irene Urciuoli who for about an hour covers the entire scene and does not hold back. At the end of the premiere, she was long and deservedly applauded. Worth seeing

A unique format positioned between theatre, a psychological workshop, and a social experiment.
No actors.
No stage.
The main protagonists are the employees of your company.
Participants sit across from each other with one task:
to fill out an anonymous questionnaire about the person in front of them, based solely on first impressions.
At the end, everyone receives a “portrait” created by others — sometimes funny, sometimes unexpectedly accurate, sometimes deeply touching.
No one leaves indifferent.
The project was created by the Swiss-German collective Magic Garden and has been a sell-out hit across Europe.
Now adapted for Cyprus for the first time.

Why this is the perfect team building format
Breaks down barriers and “corporate armour”
Employees see each other with fresh eyes:
– without roles
– without titles
– without hierarchy
People stop being “managers” or “directors” — and become human beings.

Unites teams more powerfully than any training
Teams leave with the feeling:
“For the first time, I truly saw the person I work with every day.”
The emotional impact is comparable to group coaching — but without pressure or psychological risk.
It feels like a game, yet works like a deep psychological insight.

Facing a stranger with nothing to hold onto but eye contact. This is theatre—and yet it’s not. But it certainly makes you think. Everything feels serious, if you don’t have the strength to smile
Teatralny Gorod
The fundamental layer of Magic Garden’s theatrical inquiry is audience perception and memory. This is an experiment that explores the blend of experience and imagination, intellect and intuition
Yuliana Dergaeva
You’re always aware that your partner will read what you write. You phrase things more carefully than you’d normally think about strangers
Anton Khitrov, theatre critic
An incredibly valuable experience—the person across from you feels closer after just an hour. A powerful reminder of how shallow our perception of others often is
Anna Banasyukevich, theatre critic
You squirm, regret your answers, fear the consequences. And yet—you want to do it again
Kristina Matvienko
A precisely crafted journey into the fragile soul of the spectator. Both comforting and unsettling to remember. You want to return
