Trying to find a new one every year. 11 00:02:54,735 --> 00:02:59,534 I can't believe there aren't any lonely deceased in the world anymore. 12 00:03:00,292 --> 00:03:03,958 But I must. I know it won't be easy. 13 00:03:04,059 --> 00:03:06,266 I must find you. 14 00:03:06,467 --> 00:03:08,582 Perhaps I'm getting old? 15 00:03:08,783 --> 00:03:12,502 Every Day of the Dead gets harder for me, having to start from the beginning again. 16 00:03:12,702 --> 00:03:16,089 Finding the right face. Reinventing a story. 17 00:03:16,290 --> 00:03:21,574 An image I can carry with me all year, until next year's celebration. 18 00:03:21,928 --> 00:03:24,658 A foolish idea. But an idea! 19 00:03:26,888 --> 00:03:29,549 What if you were a waiter this year? 20 00:03:29,750 --> 00:03:32,502 That's what I was looking for! 21 00:03:32,918 --> 00:03:34,989 A waiter! 22 00:03:36,210 --> 00:03:40,907 Yes, this makes more sense than last year's idea. 23 00:03:41,108 --> 00:03:44,276 I remember your face now, so familiar. 24 00:03:44,477 --> 00:03:47,038 Especially when you smiled! 25 00:03:47,559 --> 00:03:51,625 But you said so little and you never smiled. 26 00:03:53,614 --> 00:03:59,549 Here I am in this sacristy, protected by this familiar shadow. 27 00:03:59,965 --> 00:04:06,378 Finally! Finally! He retires to a corner of the stage. 28 00:04:06,679 --> 00:04:09,076 Don't read the stage directions! 29 00:04:09,277 --> 00:04:12,154 Laura, this student of yours is really good! 30 00:04:13,157 --> 00:04:19,241 Here I am again twenty years later. So old, so infinitely tired! 31 00:04:19,442 --> 00:04:22,842 And you're the best on your course? I'd hate to see the others. 32 00:04:23,043 --> 00:04:25,760 Hold on, let's try changing the line like this... 33 00:04:25,961 --> 00:04:29,497 I've returned to where it all happened a long time ago. 34 00:04:29,698 --> 00:04:33,498 It may seem impossible to you, but the simpleton who wrote those lines... 35 00:04:33,698 --> 00:04:36,264 intended to give them some sort of meaning. 36 00:04:36,465 --> 00:04:40,357 In fact I'm trying to give some meaning to what I'm reading. 37 00:04:40,558 --> 00:04:42,597 I have an opinion too, don't I? 38 00:04:42,798 --> 00:04:45,458 Right now we're not interested in your opinion. 39 00:04:45,659 --> 00:04:48,332 The author's, if anyone's. Or mine, at worst. 40 00:04:48,808 --> 00:04:52,303 - Have you read the entire script? - Of course, I know it by heart. 41 00:04:52,504 --> 00:04:54,917 I know everyone's parts, the scene changes. 42 00:04:55,118 --> 00:04:57,450 She's made me read it a thousand times. 43 00:04:57,651 --> 00:05:00,826 It's not true, Pintus. I'd never allow myself to interfere. 44 00:05:01,027 --> 00:05:03,287 You see, Pintus, on second thoughts... 45 00:05:03,488 --> 00:05:06,884 I wouldn't mind knowing a bit more about this work of ours. 46 00:05:07,185 --> 00:05:12,908 Try to aim for something different to what we've achieved together. 47 00:05:13,109 --> 00:05:15,203 Isn't that right, Giorgia? 48 00:05:15,404 --> 00:05:18,338 Wouldn't it be better to tell him more about the script? 49 00:05:18,958 --> 00:05:22,727 - You did it with us. - Great! One week to the premiere. 50 00:05:22,928 --> 00:05:26,635 We're still here begging an extra for his opinion! 51 00:05:26,836 --> 00:05:29,446 - I'm not an extra, I'm an actor. - Congratulations. 52 00:05:29,647 --> 00:05:31,723 You've already had two hundred meetings... 53 00:05:31,924 --> 00:05:34,806 to discuss the meanings and contents of every word. 54 00:05:35,007 --> 00:05:37,226 We're getting ahead of ourselves. 55 00:05:37,427 --> 00:05:39,651 - This play is confusing. - Confusing? 56 00:05:39,852 --> 00:05:44,397 Yes, because you keep talking about this boy, Thomas. 57 00:05:44,668 --> 00:05:48,198 What will they do and want to do with this boy? 58 00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:51,111 But you don't know if he exists. You never see him. 59 00:05:51,312 --> 00:05:54,626 - You find that counter-productive? - Of course. 60 00:05:54,827 --> 00:05:58,550 It would be much better to say straight away. 61 00:05:58,751 --> 00:06:02,136 Let the audience know. This is a story about two lunatics... 62 00:06:02,357 --> 00:06:04,866 who don't have the courage to live together. 63 00:06:05,067 --> 00:06:07,402 So they invent a shared life. 64 00:06:07,603 --> 00:06:09,683 And even a son. 65 00:06:09,884 --> 00:06:14,441 But you won't get any of that. And if you do, you're smart. 66 00:06:14,745 --> 00:06:17,544 - Real smart. - You figured it out. 67 00:06:17,845 --> 00:06:22,246 - But I'm a good observer. - What do you mean by good observer? 68 00:06:22,447 --> 00:06:25,191 Come on!

That's what he meant. 77 00:07:19,384 --> 00:07:23,520 There are things, ideas, situations... 78 00:07:24,143 --> 00:07:28,747 that we feel inside of us, almost physically. 79 00:07:28,948 --> 00:07:33,900 But if we try to make them real, we realise that a good part of what's inside us... 80 00:07:34,101 --> 00:07:38,901 That we've tried to bring to the scene, is reduced to a fabulous intuition. 81 00:07:40,638 --> 00:07:44,017 The performance is better for it, and that's why... 82 00:07:44,218 --> 00:07:48,668 the fear of exposing themselves too much reduces and reshapes the author's violence. 83 00:07:49,010 --> 00:07:51,905 If you're referring to me, it's a rather cruel discourse, don't you think? 84 00:07:52,106 --> 00:07:53,893 It's a discourse. 85 00:07:54,094 --> 00:07:57,049 The advantage Adam was referring to is precisely that. 86 00:07:57,250 --> 00:08:01,103 To have greatly assisted with the show without even having read a line. 87 00:08:01,303 --> 00:08:02,980 Just looking at them. 88 00:08:03,181 --> 00:08:07,920 The advantages a married life offers in a community of this sort are numerous. 89 00:08:08,121 --> 00:08:11,974 Listen, Pintus, if you don't let me try on my costume right now... 90 00:08:12,175 --> 00:08:14,679 I'll go back to the hotel and see you at the station! 91 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,018 Will you calm down as well? 92 00:08:17,219 --> 00:08:21,098 You do realise we can't mess this up? It's too important for us. 93 00:08:21,507 --> 00:08:25,399 You're acting like one of those cockroaches I saw you play long ago. 94 00:08:26,251 --> 00:08:28,728 As the director, if I get this wrong my career is over. 95 00:08:28,929 --> 00:08:32,241 I'll go back to writing newspaper reviews nobody ever reads. 96 00:08:32,442 --> 00:08:36,165 Well what about me then? You all keep complaining. 97 00:08:36,366 --> 00:08:38,550 My farewell to the stage after a triumphant career. 98 00:08:38,851 --> 00:08:42,336 My audience.
