Author, director and actor Oscar De Summa draws on a personal memory to tell the story of a woman who died too young. Inspired by quantum physics, it is a reflection on the relationship that continues to exist between two people who, despite living next door to each other in the past, never really got to know each other.

The show is based on the memory of Mariarosaria, a girl who lived next door to the house where De Summa grew up. Although they were the same age, their lives never really crossed paths: their families did not socialise due to old feuds. Mariarosaria studied piano, was interested in philosophy and cultivated passions far removed from the carefree attitude typical of teenagers. Years later, De Summa decided to tell her story, intertwined with a youthful love that never blossomed, and discovered, in a strange twist of fate, that Mariarosaria had died on the very day he began writing about her. This event becomes the spark that drives the creation of the text, where personal experience merges with the suggestion of quantum physics: according to the principle of entanglement, two particles that have entered into a relationship remain linked even at a distance. De Summa thus wonders about the possibility that lives, once they come into contact, never really cease to influence each other, even when they seem to have drifted apart. A poetic reflection on memory, the value of life and the profound mystery of human connections.
