The latent voice
(first movement)
An actress, Raquel Ferri, gives birth. And an actress, Raquel Ferri, plays the night and day during which she gave birth.
Dreams can also be a matter of life or death. In this dream, the actress multiplies into different women, and prepares to give birth. And in some moment (from the past or the future) he relives the desires, the fears, the hopes, the friction of the bodies in transformation.
At the decisive moment of childbirth, real life and acting embrace and look into each other's eyes, just as it always does in our lives.

Classic texts are part of our tradition and are never missing from festival and theater programs. Now, in the middle of the 21st century, perhaps the time has come to consider how we read and represent them. What do we make of their misogynistic, racist, LGBTI-phobic, classist and more messages, a product of the times and contexts in which they were written and, above all, how do we offer them to new generations, both in theaters and classrooms ? We talk about adaptations, revisions and subversions, always with a feminist perspective and a bit of punk.

"Gulf of Rome", "Sweeney Todd", "A Little Night Music", "Follies" or "Company" are some of the titles that appear in this conversation about music and theater, translation and language, craft and passion. A memory, a tribute... A party dedicated to the great Stephen Sondheim.
the fire
In an ideal setting, the theater is a place of collective reflection where anyone can be, one of the last spaces of freedom we have left.
If there is freedom in the theater, it should also exist in its advertising. And the most free advertising would be the one capable of questioning its own product and consumer.
The theater is only the flame, but it is the audience that must stir it.

Due to the economic crisis, there is a feeling of a certain general depression in the artistic world which, in addition, causes doubts to be generated about what the role of culture should be at a time like this.
