Part of the "Progetto Vulnerabili", this reinterpretation of the famous Pirandello's pièce arises from the director's curiosity for the architecture, for those masked characters who move in a fake palace and that no one seems to recognize. But also from the awareness that perhaps Enrico's madness is just a way to see better and live an alternative existence: a desire for transformation that is also a biological, theatrical, spiritual theme. From Enrico's hermitage, during which he  loses the only love of his life, his friends, his memories, accompanied by the anxiety of escaping the flowing time, a journey is born for four actors inside Pirandello's words.

"It seems that Enrico completes a hermitage of twelve years, during which he loses the only love of his life, his friends, his memories. And  the anxiety of escaping the flowing time increases. So, while everything passes , she - the loved woman - instead remains there, stuck in a frozen beauty, perfect in memory and in a feeling not experienced enough to become corrupted. There is something sinister in this plasticization that refuses death and corruption. I would try to understand the reason of this terror.
