Those who expected Sergio Sgrilli during the Zelig days were not only not disappointed but were able to see the other side of the famous Tuscan actor, a master of laughter during the days of the successful television cabaret circus, who alternated comedy shows with other, more introspective works.

Nives's staging at the Teatro Comunale in San Gavino Monreale confirms itself as an intense and multifaceted theatrical experience, capable of transforming a seemingly simple tale into a profound emotional journey, suspended between solitude, regret, and memory.

Based on the novel by Sacha Naspini and adapted for the stage by Riccardo Fazi, the show, produced by the Accademia Mutamenti, features the multifaceted artist from Maremma alongside actress Sara Donzelli, performers who weave a web of inner relationships with surprising delicacy and an ability to engage the audience.

Nives's strength lies in its minimalist and concentrated scene: two characters converse through a long telephone conversation that extends into the night, recounting not only past events but also their own existence made up of choices, missed opportunities and cumbersome memories.

The narrative device thus becomes a pretext for probing the human soul, bringing out the most intimate folds of the protagonists' souls with clarity and intensity.

The production skilfully uses the stage space and lighting to suggest the inner landscapes of Nives and Loriano, captivating the audience in an attentive and participatory listening.

The performances of the two protagonists alternate moments of delicate irony with flashes of poignant melancholy, portraying two figures who, despite their everyday lives, embody the universality of emotions and unspoken wounds.

The result is a modern drama that questions the viewer about the nature of time, memory, and emotional distance, suspending the action between reality and introspection.

The performance leaves a trail of reflections on unspoken words, unspoken affections, and choices intertwined with the desire to fully understand one another.

The show continues its tour in Sardinia for the CeDAC Sardegna Prose Season, chaired by Antonio Cabiddu and directed by Valeria Ciabattoni: tonight, Friday, April 10, the play will be performed at the Teatro Costantino in Macomer and tomorrow at the Teatro del Carmine in Tempio Pausania, following its success in San Gavino and the Teatro Garau in Oristano.
