"The invention with no future." This is how Antoine Lumière (father of the two famous brothers) defined their new discovery; cinema. The show tells the story of Louis and Auguste, their relationship and their search for love. The story is told through film scenes, sounds, visions and that magic atmosphere that only cinema can recreate.

Riccardo and Lucia [Riccardo e Lucia]

Written by Claudia Lerro
Directed by Claudia Lerro
With Claudia Lerro and Pio Stellaccio
Produced by Teatrificio 22 (Puglia)

Inspired by the private diary of Riccardo Lerro, a poet and an anti-fascist activist, who was also Claudia Lerro’s grandfather, the show depicts the true story of two simple people, Riccardo and Lucia, in post-war Southern Italy. The play focuses on eternal themes such as love, absence, the strength to believe in something again and to never betray it in order to remain true to oneself and be happy.
