Teatro Foce

La favola di Peter brings to life a dreamlike, poetic and ironic show that, thanks to the magical language of shadows, speaks to all ages.

Peter has a twin: his shadow. They “came into the world” together. They grew up together. They played together. Peter moved his shadow, and the shadow, tireless, gave him wonderful ideas. But then Peter grew up, started doing grown-up things, and no longer had time to play. The shadow, however, remained there, silent, always behind him, waiting to be looked at again. Until one day... they separated. On stage, an actor and his shadow engage in a continuous game: they interact, chase each other, transform themselves, creating a universe of characters and imaginary worlds against a white background. A visual and sensory journey that invites young and old alike to rediscover that part of themselves that is often forgotten as we grow up.
