In an inversion of the perception of time typical of dreams, an old actor, in the half-hour that separates him from going on stage to play the leading role in Strindberg's Temporale, finds himself reliving moments from his own life in an endless time. The soundtrack of the reality of a theatre that is coming alive outside his dressing room becomes the pretext and the sometimes light-hearted and sometimes moved invitation to wander and even to converse with the ghosts of his own past, in a mingling without temporal logic where one sound evokes another a laugh brings back a moment of joy a long silence to a loss distant in time.

Before The Storm

Gaetano Donizetti Theater

In a reversal of the perception of time typical of dreams, an old actor, in the half-hour that separates him from going on stage to play the lead in Strindberg's Thunderstorm , finds himself reliving moments of his own life in an endless time. The soundtrack of the reality of a theater coming to life outside his dressing room becomes the pretext and the invitation, at times carefree and at others moving, to wander and even converse with the ghosts of his past in a temporally illogical intermingling, while one sound evokes another, a laugh recalls a moment of joy, a long silence recalls a loss long ago.
