Synopsis: A man is alone in a room. Are you tired. Run and reflects on life. Throughout the monologue we realize that this is a man at the end of its lifetime. The various ghosts arise in his speech that is a web of interwoven thoughts and suspended in a Beckett non-logic. Love has disabled it. It was not only passionate love. Was parental love. The love of reason. The love for life. Love for you. This vessel of love is gone-missing and distancing themselves. Its essence. Nothing and no one will make you understand. Not even himself. Addiction logic destroyed it. The Non-logic gives you the last breaths of life.

Nothing and no one will give you the support the last breath? Not quite. A spectrum which only has own access assists and assists you in a game of hide and seek that only end when man realizes who it is.

It is the 13th Arcanum of the Tarot.

Authorship, Staging and Interpretation - Bruno Schiappa

Bruno Schiappa has developed his activity as a soloist, i seeking to understand the solitary aspect of the artist and their role in life through your journey in the art to share with the public the thoughts and considerations that weaves in private. It is, above all, to get to share an experience that becomes visible to the public. Here we find the will of the actor himself to integrate the importance of the viewer and the recession. Now he wants to deepen that relationship giving not only the cross fable of the text but the actor's process. In this play  during the performance the actor will make at least four interruptions during which to improvise, referring to the public that the result of each of these moments is not satisfactory to him and showing how he can search for stimuli to find results that best fit the performance. The actor will also choose four other times, which may or may not coincide with the previous ones, to photograph public reactions. Anticipating the strangeness factor that will reach the public, Bruno Schiappa chose this text because it also presents a tribute to one of the playwrights who contributed most to the theater in the twentieth century, and recognized the non-logic of the human being, being one of the creators of the absurdist movement: Samuel Beckett. It is also in this show what may be the first photographic record of the public, from the representation (scene) docuemting not only their presence but also their status and reactions, i.e., including the audience as (also ) an observed element and not just an observer.
