Viola and Sofia are the main characters of this play.
We meet them on the verge to pass away...
we found them sleeping "neighbors".
We start to see things under a new perspective.
What happens inside the cemetery walls when the last
visitor leaves the scene,
when the cemetery caretaker locks the gate?
Cries, chains, restless souls, will-of-the wisps?
Nothing of the sort, just a boring night, that bring Sofia to
get out in search of more appealing entertainment than
reading the same dusty old book
she has been reading for over a century.
On the contrary, Viola has been sleeping her untroubled
sleep for a century when Sofia abruptly wakes her up.
Bewildered at first, the ladies get to know each other,
get stuck after such a long immobility, then start to remember
the passions of their lives and dance with their undisputed
and immortal landlady.
Overhanging rigs become unusual points of view to continue
their narration, fire is used with astonishing nonchalance
since...what's the risk for two dead bodies?
The routine of the gruesome setting is interrupted by whispers
and voices...a suspect...is anybody down there?
Yes, it is you, unexpected audience, you are materializing
in front of the incredulous eyes of the two, who have not
seen such a crowd since the day of the last funeral!
