Inside the childhood home – where time is compressed, dilated and rewritten – the memories of Ugo, now an adult, come to life. Through the framework of a fairytale, the plot culminates in an encounter with a monster. Ugo Fiore and Livia Rossi, together with musician Federica Furlani, stage an autobiographical drama, a dark tale that tells the story of a child betrayed by the adult world. Through the intersection of Italian and French and the evocative live musical accompaniment, the work is steeped in mystery and ambiguity, transforming a traumatic episode into a powerful theatrical experience.
Ugo Fiore was born in Paris in 1991, where he studied with Jean-Louis Jacopin and Jean-Pierre Garnier. In 2017, he graduated from the Piccolo Teatro School in Milan. Along with his activity as an actor, he began a career as assistant director, working alongside Carmelo Rifici in several productions (Macbeth, Ci guardano, Doppio sogno, Le relazioni pericolose, Processo Galileo). In 2022, along with Livia Rossi and Federica Furlani, he won the Corte Ospitale's Forever Young call with Personne, chroniques d'une jeunesse. He studies philosophy at the University of Milan.
Livia Rossi was born in Milan in 1993. She graduated from the Piccolo Teatro School in Milan in 2017, making her debut with Uomini e no by Carmelo Rifici. In 2022 she took part as actress and coauthor in the play Le relazioni pericolose, directed by Carmelo Rifici. Along with Ugo Fiore and Federica Furlani, she won the Corte Ospitale's Forever Young call with Personne, chroniques d'une jeunesse. She was directed by Gianni Amelio in movies such as L'intrepido (2013) and Hammamet (2020).
Federica Furlani graduated in viola and electronic music at the Conservatorio G. Verdi in Milan. Since 2014 she has worked as a sound designer, composer and stage musician with Antonio Latella, Carmelo Rifici and other directors and choreographers, with shows staged at Piccolo Teatro in Milan, Teatro Stabile in Turin, Arena del Sole in Bologna, Biennale Teatro in Venice.
