The text presents several scenographic challenges: a WOMAN OF 460 KG and her LOSS, an EARTHQUAKE, a COLLAPSE and the arrival of DINOSAURS on Earth. The idea of creating a “Wes Anderson-style” set, a fake pastel colors universe in which insert husband and wife, two individuals alienated from the society and fed by their own built happiness. The audience, watching the comedy, should have feel call on this topic. The woman is the core of the story, always clearly visible .. never getting up from her armchair, seems a piece of furniture-fossil of the wall… The two men instead move inside the space. There are moments in which the fiction of the text seems to be revealed, which is why I created two floors within the scene. The upper floor-landing, a place where the two neighbors exchanged views, had to reveal that grotesque theater in is imbalance!
