Elio lost his parents as a teenager, and since then he has been trapped in grief, unable to open up to others. His relationship with Arianna is in crisis, and his friendship with Vlad is at risk: to avoid being alone, Elio will have to confront his pain and rediscover the desire to live. Lettere dall’Aadilà explores complex themes such as grief, spirituality, and emotional vulnerability with clarity and sensitivity. A text-driven drama, it immerses the audience in an intimate and authentic space, where the actors’ work transforms the private into a shared experience.

Yuri Casagrande Conti attended the Quelli di Grock Theatre School in Milan before continuing his studies in Los Angeles. Alongside his acting career, he has pursued writing: Come nei rami la pioggia is his debut short film, while Lettere dall’aldilà is the first theatrical text developed within the annual “Piccola Bottega 2024” workshop, directed by Roberto Scarpetti and lacasadargilla. He has collaborated with institutions such as MTM Teatro Litta in Milan, Teatro Bellini in Naples, Vucciria Teatro, and TDA Teatro in Varese, among others. In film, he has appeared in Duse by Pietro Marcello, Le ragazze non piangono by Andrea Zuliani, L’ultimo spegne la luce by Tommaso Santambrogio, and L’assoluto presente by Fabio Martina.
