Is it possible to rewrite reality through art? What kinds of scenarios can we imagine with it?

Together with fellow journalist Stefania Prandi, we met eight artists during a pandemic year: actors, actresses, and dancers from freelance and small Italian theatre companies. Through their words and eyes, we enacted joy, hope, sadness and exhaustion moments. We created a continuous dialogue between reality and fiction, as if on a film set where actors, actresses, and dancers play themselves. Using a directorial mode approach based on their stories as inspiration, we created a visual narrative that breaks from the pandemic and produced this series of choral scenes, portraits, and details reflecting the border between fiction and reality.
