A tragicomic and intimate tale of the fragile yet powerful relationship between a father and his teenage son. It all begins in an emergency room, in that suspended moment of time when a fifty-year-old man, on the most important day of his career, is called because his son has had an accident. What seems like a wait turns into an internal vortex: the protagonist begins an imaginary dialogue with his son, filled with misunderstandings, impatience, guilt, and unconditional love. On stage, irony alternates with tenderness and paradox, as the clash between two generations separated by a rapid pace of time, full of distractions, clichés, and unspoken suffering, unfolds.

An empty room, a wall as black as a chalkboard, a man enters feeling as if he's lost his memory. He's there to take stock of his life, but only details, small stories, and minimal memories surface in his mind. His mind is saturated with images and seeks the solace of words, in the magic box of the theater, sheltered from the world.

In Arrivato a questo punto, Gioele Dix writes an original text on the evocative power of the stage: an investigation into himself that becomes a mirror for all, an inventory of seized opportunities and missed appointments, where comedy coexists with a subtle melancholy. Sounds, noises, and sudden melodies guide the protagonist through the labyrinth of memory: every echo is a key, every note a revelation.

Here We Are is composed of three short one-act plays that recount, at different times, three different relationships between a man and a woman. In the first, Amour et Piano by Georges Feydeau, set in late-19th-century Paris, the meeting between the two protagonists occurs purely by mistake, giving rise to an embarrassing and hilarious comedy of errors. However, the epilogue suggests a possible romantic sequel to the encounter born out of pure chance. In the second, Here We Are by Dorothy Parker, the scene is occupied by two newlyweds departing for their honeymoon, and the station waiting room becomes the backdrop for a series of skirmishes, unsaid words, and seemingly hopeless misunderstandings. A couple torn between libertarian impulses and nostalgic capitulations, immersed as they are in the American dream of the 1940s. In the third, " I Posted You for Joy ," written by Gioele Dix, he and she are two millennials who meet for the first time after a long time of dating only on social media. Expectations, misunderstandings, comical stumbles, and secret hopes will be the ingredients of a lively conversation that will bring the two closer, perhaps more than their mutual distrust might have led them to believe.
