It is difficult to express in words what has meaning for me to participate - albeit for a short period - in this small, big project. I joined the Silence Theater almost by accident in 2000 and have remained there until 2006. During this time many things have happened and many of these trips that have brought us here and there on the streets and festivals of Europe.
Today I met by chance the director of the company, Luigi Pezzotti. That is why I write today - just today - these two lines to remember the comrades of Silence Theater.
I have neither the time nor the desire to establish an account of my memories, but not hold the record here the two things that I most profoundly impressed that unique experience: the smell and warmth dell'Argilla that blend in entries friends and the feeling that you try mounting lights and sound in a square that anchors retain the heat of summer sun already fallen over the houses, while people passing you look and you speak in a language you do not know.
