Six performers transform pauses and subtle gestures into stage material, creating an experience where silence becomes measure and rhythm. No scenes, costumes, backstage: only instruments and metronomes exploring time as a shared experience.
Jacopo Giacomoni, playwright, performer and winner of the 2025 Riccione Award for Tacet, the 2023 Franco Quadri Special Mention, and the 2024 Biennale Dramaturgy call, conducts a structuralist research transforming theatre into a play-ritualistic lab, where chance, participation, and time become part of the stage. Silvia Costa is a visual and performing artist working as director, performer, and writer, and collaborating with Societas Raffaello Sanzio and European institutions; she was awarded the title of Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres in 2022.
