MESSA IN SCENA SENZA TITOLO

Messa in scena senza titolo is a short film that explores the fragile boundary between identity and fiction, desire and disillusionment. The protagonist, a young actor, carefully prepares for his first leading role: he puts on his best suit, looks at himself in the mirror, moving through an intimate ritual tinged with expectation and anticipation.

But he soon realizes there is no audience, no one to witness, no one to acknowledge his gesture. The action loses its performative meaning and collapses inward, turning into a private performance, almost devoid of purpose. The protagonist finds himself the sole spectator of his own staging.

Through a silent and symbolic narrative, the film reflects on the illusion of being “chosen,” the anxiety of being seen, and the emotional collapse that can follow the absence of external validation. The suit, the mirror, the light: each becomes a metaphor for the search for legitimacy, for the attempt to exist through the gaze of others.

The short moves between theatrical aesthetics and cinematic tension, embracing the ambiguity between inner reality and staged fiction.
