Cinema in slippers – Home made cinema takes to the streets
Forte San Pietro
Theater Trabagai
The Theater Trabagai is part of the Constellation Association.
An outdoor micro-cinema and two strange characters, in dressing gowns and pajamas, are waiting for the audience. They welcome them with gags and jokes, and make them take their seats: they are ready to start the screening.
And so, like in a kaleidoscopic game, the protagonists of the short films are the same pajama-clad masks. The shorts, really short, are filmed at home. The idea takes shape during the lockdown: the four walls of a home, prolonged refuge of forced rest, become a set and everyday life, with its neuroses and fears, becomes the mirror of a paralyzed and dystopian world. Having to deal with the “strange” situation, the Trabagai family is forced to live with their own inadequacies and chooses to project them onto a virtual film that they will periodically share on their social channels… and the comedic effect is guaranteed.
Now times have changed, but they are still there, suspended in an unreal time that does not exist: you can see them, in slippers and pajamas, waiting for tomorrow. If you happen to meet them, warn them!
