Acting
Adapted from Franco Scaldati's play, the movie transposes the story of Totò and Vicé from the theatrical representations to urban scenes. Totò and Vicé are timeless creatures, bewildered and misplaced, that roam about Palermo, marooned and empty; an urban journey and waking life between memories and dreams in one magic night. Out from a timeless cave, their story of sanctification crosses the suburbs, reaches the city and it's bowels, showing the real settings of Scaldati's writing and cosmogony.
One of the most famous and mysterious literary and theatrical texts of the 1900s. Theodoros Terzopoulos, greek maestro of the international scene, transforms Waiting for Godot into a lens through which is possible to identify "the other". An engaging drama which leads us to wonder about our own concept of humanity.
