“It’s an old habit of mine to give audience, every Sunday morning, to the characters of my future novels. Five hours, 8:00 to 13:00. I almost always find myself in bad company.”
Luigi Pirandello, Tragedia di un personaggio

Eight figures inhabit the spaces of an abandoned theatre: a theatre where one can no longer act, where one can no longer go on stage.
Orphans of a possible stage, these persons/characters are immersed in a limbo that contains them between the truth of the theatre and the fiction of reality: they address the spectators directly one at a time, taking them with them into their own intimate and private dimension where they can, face to face, “narrate their sad cases, shout their own reasons, vent their broken passions”.

Eight actors and actresses. Eight confessions. The Pirandellian text of the Six characters in search of an author blends seamlessly with the biographies and dramas of each of them, whether real or invented. Eight stumbles, eight attempts to open a breach, to access reality, sudden and unexpected, through fiction.

How to meet reality when fiction is no longer allowed? How to create the scandal of intimacy, of the truth that emerges, of the sudden tear of the mask that reveals the truth of its very nature?

“What unrestored senses, what traumatic confidences, and what spells of a contemporary vitality await you from now on in the map of the smashing materials scattered by Muta Imago throughout the Teatro Valle through the hybrid and fascinating path of Senza quinte né scena“.
Rodolfo Di Giammarco, La Repubblica

“If there is a field in which the Roman company is unbeatable, it is precisely that of polarizing suggestions, of allowing events that under a given light vibrate with affinity, to meet and touch each other. And give life, in their collision, to something else. And so a “non-theatre”, amputated of the stage, becomes a place for a multi-text/non-text, which adds its own further plan of ambiguity to the duplicity of Pirandellian opera. ”
Carlo Lei , Krapp’s Last Post
