BOXES
Debut: KILOWATT FESTIVAL 2022
BOXES is a visual theater show, an installation made up of "boxes" containing micro-shows and interactive games, which can be enjoyed by one spectator at a time.
The public is invited to experience a unique, personal, and dedicated experience. By observing inside the boxes through small cracks and openings, you immerse yourself in an intimate and protected space that contains small poetic worlds.
BOXES is an open project, which takes inspiration from the Lambe Lambe theater and from the effects and techniques of pre-cinema. The project is a continuously developing construction site that is enriched thanks to collaboration and encounters with different artists.

"A real surprise and happy discovery, a touch of nostalgia, a lot of poetry and a return to childhood that opened up memories and imagination, fantasy and dreams, memory and breath."
-Tommaso Chimenti
"It's like staring at a cloud and tracing the profiles that allow you to imagine, to intuit a subject, a figure that, once defined, is ready to change."
-Matteo Brighenti
"We can praise the craftsmanship with which the individual scenic objects are built, from the very small to the most voluminous and the imagination with which they are given the opportunity to open new universes, transforming anyone into a new Alice in front of new wonderful worlds all to explore. "
-Sandro Avanzo
"A descent into the dimension of poetry and tenderness that is difficult to forget."
-Mario Cervio Gualersi
