Secondo Toni Servillo Eduardo
is the most extraordinary and perhaps the last representative of a contemporary popular dramaturgy, after him the prevalence of the formal aspect has increasingly distanced the theater from an authentically popular dimension [...] To face his works means to insinuate himself in that unstable equilibrium between writing and orality that makes his theater ambiguous and always surprising. Following his teaching I try in my work to never prevail the text on the interpretation, the interpretation on the text, the direction on the text and on the interpretation. The deep silent space that exists between the text, the performers and the audience is filled with meaning evening by night on the stage, replies after reply.
In this text Eduardo manages to create dimensions suspended between dream and reality, digging deep into the bad conscience of his characters and, consequently, also of the public. The dark story is triggered after the dream of Alberto Saporito on the murder of a friend, whose culprits would be his neighbors. The confusion between truth and illusion generates a series of suspicions, and a mechanism that will reveal all the pettiness of the protagonists.
To push Eduardo to write this comedy was the collapse of values that would have characterized society following the Second World War for the following decades. "And even today it seems that Alberto Saporito, a man-character, comes down from the stage to get closer to the spectator telling him that the story that is being told concerns him, because we are all victims, overwhelmed by indifference, of another moral post-war".
