SYNOPSIS

An actor, alone in an empty stage space, reads the first three stories of Cesare Pavese’s August Feria, in a tiring and intense melee with the development and rhythm of the prose. Mountain, hilly and marine landscapes accompany and articulate the narration. The notes of a piano open and close listening and viewing.
