When chance interlinks events better than a Hollywood screenwriter. More than thirty years later, the story for “Actor and Projector” on the perfect sequence of events of that summer '84. Everyone in Livorno knew the legend: in 1909, Modigliani supposedly threw some of his sculptures into the Fosso Reale, disheartened by incompetent friends who mocked those works. But when in 1984, to celebrate the centenary of his birth, the Municipality (alongside an exhibition organized in his honor) ventured, amid heated controversies, a daring recovery, there was a miraculous catch of three heads that brought TV stations from all around the world to the Fosso of Livorno! And immediately the leading art critics had no doubts in declaring: “They are masterpieces, they belong to Modigliani!” But after a month it turned out that... they weren't truly Modigliani's... The collective frenzy in the true-false short circuit and the mystery of some deaths never clarified. Three prankster students and a maligned painter-dockworker. A sociological snapshot of Italy at the time and a lot of memorable, involuntary comedy: these are the ingredients of what was called "the prank of the century." The absolute protagonist of this story is Chance, which in that summer brought about such a marvelous succession of fortuitous events that the dramaturgy is inherently perfect. Some coincidences are so incredible that they are hard to believe: hence, the idea of the show for “Actor and Projector,” as if the images of that time bore witness to the veracity of the episodes recounted.
From comedy to drama, from farce to tragedy, no one is missing from the gallery of characters. Moreover, almost like in Romeo and Juliet, this story is also a kind of war between the old and the young. For all this, from an acting perspective, the work was directed toward a playful mimicry of all the characters who populated it, starting with the proposal of the warm and distinctive Livornese speech: to bring out, for comic purposes or otherwise, the humanity of the characters beyond the documentary style that the show sometimes presents.
