Synopsis
Pirandello Pulp by Edoardo Erba, with Massimo Dapporto and Fabio Troiano directed by Gioele Dix, seems like a simple game of role reversal, but the discovery of unsettling truths will shake the precarious balance found by the characters and lead the comedy towards an unexpected ending.

We are in a rehearsal, on stage where Pirandello's "Il giuoco delle parti" is set to be performed. Maurizio, the director of the show, was expecting another technician for the lighting setup, but instead Carmine shows up, who knows nothing about the show and suffers from vertigo. Maurizio is forced to go through the entire text to make him understand it, and Carmine, in order to avoid climbing the ladder to place the lights, starts discussing every detail of the direction.

His ideas come from a dangerously lived sexuality, but they are innovative, and Maurizio goes from irritation to enthusiasm, ultimately conceiving the idea of a pulp direction: a Giuoco delle parti set in a squalid suburban parking lot, where couples engage in exchanges. Roles are reversed, and now it is Maurizio who goes up and down the ladder to point the lights, while Carmine has become the thinking mind.
