A Journey of Light and Shadow
The play explores the inner journey of an actor in search of the 'perfect backlight', a metaphor for life in theatres, where lights alter the identity of artists. Paone highlights the importance of embracing different roles to intensify one's artistic expression: “Sagoma, for me, represents that ridge that sees on one side the comic actor and on the other the actor without adjective. The actor and that's it“, said the actor, expressing his passion for the diversity of theatrical roles.
The Silent Dialogue of Light
In the monologue, which lasts 50 minutes, the scene is essentially dominated by plays of light and an almost silent interaction between the protagonists, one suspended on a ladder and the other on the ground. Light becomes a symbolic guide for the artist in search of authenticity. The collaboration between the cast and the technical team is fundamental, with significant contributions from Carlotta Campobasso and the team of Francesco Guardascione and Francesco Piciocchi.
An Exploration of the Invisible Theatre
Director Davide Iodice chose to create a show that highlights not only the actors but also the charm and mastery behind the scenes. “And since Fabio's beautiful suggestion speaks of theatre and of actors, and of technicians, and of the invisible that allows vision, and of the darkness in which light is born or dies”, Iodice said, emphasizing the essential role of theater workers. The performance promises not only to entertain, but also to offer a deep look at the art of the stage.

I don't know if the show will be interesting, but the theme of the monologue with the light playing on the actors seems to me to be something new and can have some nice implications on the role of the artist in the theater. I'm waiting to see how it develops.
The article talks about an interesting show but I don't know if it will be something that everyone will like. Light is important for the theater, but there are many things that must be considered, such as the reactions of the audience and how the actors interpret the roles.
