The event

«Mentre se ne va» features two performers playing an artist couple who build an exhibition in front of the audience. The show becomes a story about the couple's shared creations, how they change over time, and what remains when something starts to fade. It runs 40 minutes; afterward the interactive works stay open to the public, inviting visitors to reflect on the nature of bonds.

Text and direction are by Flavio Santandrea, with works by Zeno Fabrizio. The performers are Lorenzo Schinella and Viola Misiti, and the concept and dramaturgy are credited to Sala Sola.

The event is part of «SFORMAT. Formati originali», a project by Bluecheese Project supported by Italy's Ministry of Culture and a winner of a public call by Roma Capitale.
