A clown fleeing from a novel stumbles upon Krapp, from Samuel Beckett's renowned one-act play; he draws inspiration from Colum McCann's Apeirogon and is nourished by parts of the unpublished, eponymous novel by Franco Acquaviva. Various themes intertwine: the loneliness of the artist, the utopia of art, which, despite failing, seeks to become a tool for changing the world, and the role of theatre in society.
By and with Franco Acquaviva
