ACT I
THE NIGHT, THE LUXURY, THE FALL
The first part comes to life in a hotel suite of a grand hotel.
The protagonists: Giosuè and Martina, live through an impulsive night.
They met only a few hours earlier, perhaps in a club, perhaps
by chance, but now they’re dancing in a room where time feels suspended.
We see them in the midst of a wild night: a private party,
excessive, chaotic, lived among silk sheets and empty bottles.
Their bodies move like two souls recognizing each other within the disorder.
The smoke, the traces of drugs, the burnt-out cigarette, the
details of the naked or half-naked body; the room becomes a
theatre of desire: neoclassical, elegant, yet invaded by a toxic
light, an aesthetic of destruction wrapped in luxury, an image
both decadent and, at once, alluring and unsettling.
