Three Studies For a Crucifixion

A single actor gives body to three characters, marginal figures between madness, identity and uprooting. Three subjects united by a condition that makes integration into the social fabric difficult for them. The first of the three studies portrays a patient among the empty chairs of a psychiatric corridor. The presences that accompanied his life inhabit the room; the absences become the interlocutors of the daily monologue to get through the day in the psychiatric community. The second study, freely inspired by the film A Year with Thirteen Moons by Fassbinder, portrays the tormented path of an orphan who, to receive some of the love promised by a man, undergoes surgery to change sex; it will not be the solution to his need and he will have to adapt to a new life, a consequence of his action. The protagonist of the third study, freely inspired by The Night Just Before the Forest by Koltès, is a stranger in a European city. Uprooted from his land, he faces a metropolitan landscape very different from his country of origin. On a rainy night he looks for a companion to share a misadventure.
