The MASI venue at the LAC is hosting *Credere alle Maschere*, a performance by Romeo Castellucci centered on the mask—a synecdoche for theater—that transforms the act of seeing into a collective and radical experience composed of words, objects, and images.

An iconic object of theater, the mask does not take on a symbolic value here: it does not conceal, but rather reveals. The collection of faces forms a plural figure, almost a people. The space allows one to look and be looked at, intensifying the reciprocal relationship to the utmost.
Romeo Castellucci—recipient of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Biennale—continues and radicalizes his exploration of the relationship between image and law, and between linguistic violence and structural complicity. The performance shifts the focus of the action to the spectator’s body, calling upon them not only to participate but to be directly involved.
Each person is given a hyperrealistic mask, unique and assigned at random.
