"on the stage- Leonardo Lidi explains - the dramaturgy of love and its absence,
a refined drawing of characters and emotions. the ralationship between form and art".
(https://www.piccoloteatro.org/it/2022-2023/il-gabbiano)
"...today their two souls will merge in an attempt to create the same work together"
Nina:
" ...she loves the lake like a seagull, and she's happy and free as a seagull... "
Konstantin:
" Or you! Ancient venerable shadows! that in the nocturnal hours populated nostalgically the shores of this lake! kidnap us in a dream so that in prophetic ecstasy what will appear to us in two thousand years!"
Medvedenko:
"why are you always wearing black?"
Masa:
"i mourn for my life. I'm unhappy".
"...EnchantIng lake "...
Trogorin:
"... day and night I am possessed by a single haunting thought: I must write, I must write, I must write, I must write..."
a lot of Iconographic Research
to arrive
at the final Sketches:
The paintings of Impressionist Painters including Monet, Manet, Renoire, vintage photographs and films they were my source of inspiration during the design phase.
dorn:
"the moon swims among nocturnal clouds".
Polina :
"Kostja is playing. it means he suffers".
"... The sandy and cerulean palette of the costumes (wich, in the composition of Aurora Damanti, shows its own 'debit' to aa international chromatic neutrality) envelops the lucid and temperate acting of the actros".

some processing steps:
tailoring is 'caos'
paper patterns, choise of fabrics, realisation and alterations,
women tailor-made costumes
a team effort
... and a wonderful company made up of great professionals...
