La escala humana

(2001)

Working in someone else’s home
To write and direct a play between three persons meant a lot and also meant nothing.
In this process there was neither multiplication of the individual aesthetics nor concessions of any kind. We just had a rare harmony in which three people visit an alien territory: the amazing land of “someone else”
Once implemented the system of rules and counter rules someone who really does not seem at all the product of the sum of the three writes and directs the show.
As one who is traveling in a foreign country but in the friendly company of others, others who are supposed to have the map and, like any map, it is false.
What do all writers want?

1) Be someone else when you write.

2)Tell one that the maddest whims are needs of the structure.

3)Read one’s text and not recognise yourself: rather "know" someone new, dangerously new and unknown, someone who for once does not kill us with boredom.

All that happened during this year's work with La escala humana.
