Hubris refers to the urge to commit transgressions against the will of the gods, an instinctive but systematic rebellion against the sense of an ending. The signs of hubris can be seen in establishing a record, whether a personal one or an all-time record, in following unexpected paths, in obstinately trying to beat time and natural equilibria, in other words, in the giddiness that accompanies any sporting feat. An exclusively human demand aimed at the quasi-sacred identification of the athlete’s body which, while respecting the rules, becomes the temple of knowledge, inspired lightness and self-determination. This is arguably what is meant by religio athletae – the worship of athletes – in which the cult values of ancient sport merge with those of modern athleticism. The search for a sacred significance in an athlete’s gesture should be the lens through which SportOpera 2021 can be read.

Two good-for-nothings have to accomplish the greatest managerial and sporting feat of the twentieth century. They have no means nor real possibilities and yet – together – they succeed. The scenario is Barcelona in 1984, on the last day of the football player transfer market, in a hotel room measuring 5 metres by 6 in Rambla Azteca 54, on the fourth floor where they have spent 59 days waiting for the phone call from Naples confirming there is the money for the purchase.
