On the weekend of Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 January 2024 at the Teatro Auditorium Santa Chiara in Trento.
A theatrical adaptation of the subject and script of Almost Friends. We observe the path that the two protagonists take to grow, each in their respective lives and in that of the other, and how one becomes absolutely necessary for the other to be able to continue their journey on this earth unscathed, or almost unscathed. A very wealthy, rich, intelligent, fascinating man that fate, on the other hand, makes fall with the paraglider leaving him paralyzed. And another man who walks in and out of jail, who has tried to make his way into the degraded suburbs, where an uncertainty becomes as in nature, essential to determine his place in the food chain. These two men meet by chance and this case will ensure that they become indissoluble for each other, one indispensable to the life of the other and soothing to the fatal wound that each has within him. In the theatrical adaptation, the role of Philippe, the man in the chair, will have to be rebalanced, because in the film version the story is very unbalanced in favour of Driss, the man who comes to help him. In the theatrical version, the two roles will be equated in order to be able to delve much more into their relationship and in their search for this Calvinist lightness that makes us excited, enjoy and laugh until tears if necessary and tears also arrive in deep emotions, on their reflections, on their lives and on their backstories.
