At the heart of the novel, the encounter between Frankenstein and his creature gives rise to pages that seem far removed from the most familiar features. On Mont Blanc, in front of a small fire, the creature exposes himself, takes the floor and tells of the long learning of language, of the world, of himself; in this narration it is the voice with its uniqueness and the word in its relational dimension that reveal aspects of the text often overlooked in the many transpositions.
The reading session appears as a primordial form of OHT's investigation into the literary and monstrous material of Frankenstein: even before the performance -or alongside it-, the collective reading aloud activates the book in its possibility of encounter and generates an informal space in which to share parts of the text often excluded from the common imagination and traces of OHT's research.

installation of stage painted backdrops by Paolino Libralato
un teatro è un teatro è un teatreo è un teatro is a performance that strips itself bare, a shifting void in which the scenic elements, lightened by the weight of the narrative, as in a solfeggio, become voices to be heard in purity.
Backdrops, skies, back lights and Americans show themselves on stage, interacting synchronously and without hierarchies to give life to other, more evanescent and peripheral narratives.
Extrapolated from the performance and in their uniqueness, the backdrops hand-painted by Paolino Libralato show themselves, again and even more radically, for themselves.
