The Prose Season of the Donizetti Theater Foundation opens to contemporary dramaturgy with Building 3. Story of an Absurd Intent <\/em><\/strong>, a play written and directed by the Argentine Claudio Tolcachir<\/strong>, on stage in the main city theater from Saturday, April 5 to Sunday, April 13.

Building 3. Story of an Absurd Intent <\/em> is a comedy that tells the story of five characters who share the confined space of an office: their personal stories intertwine, with moments of emotion, grotesque effects, and comedy. There’s Sandra, a single woman who does everything to get pregnant (Giorgia Senesi); Ettore (Rosario Lisma), a fifty-year-old mama’s boy, who only after his mother’s death ventures into his first clumsy romantic experiences; there’s the confused, intrusive, affectionate Monica (Valentina Picello), who, not knowing how to live her own life, inserts herself into others’; there’s the conflicted love between Manuel, a fragile and violent boy (Luca Tanganelli) and the more balanced Sofia (Stella Piccioni). <\/p>\n

Betrayals, misunderstandings, uncontrollable desires, dreams, and regrets: all of life unfolds before the eyes of the spectators, who recognize themselves in these stories, because Claudio Tolcachir knows how to put us in front of the mirror of our feelings. Written with great truth, the comedy is very funny, and portrays moving and comical characters. We are all the five inhabitants of Building 3<\/em>. It’s us who regret our first love, who fight loneliness every day, who discover ourselves in mourning, who are betrayed by those we least expect, who can’t find the words, who lie to hide, whose pain makes us ridiculous, us, naive at fifty, disillusioned at twenty. <\/p>\n
