The show tells one possible story among many, which begins in a city, in an attic where there is a cat called Sornione. It continues with the dream of a jacket containing three mementos in its pocket: a smooth pebble, a red leaf and half a walnut shell.
Nadine’s story comes to life thanks to an actress who draws her adventure in search of those three small objects live on stage. With every drawing, the narrative takes shape: a single stroke of chalk is enough to transport us to a crowded station, amidst the sounds of a departing train, or to a landscape of ruins, amidst the waves of the sea… All the way to her childhood home.
The story moves between reality and imagination, interweaving narration and live drawing on blackboard panels. This technique is not merely aesthetic but fundamental: the line accompanies and constructs the drama, allowing the story to come to life in real time, as if it were being ‘written’ and sketched out before the audience’s eyes.
