A laboratory experience with men and women exploited by the theater and by the stage action that impatiently welcomes them in their older age.

The common inherence of things and language in representation is a condition of possibility in natural history, but it exists as a task only in so far as things and language are separated. Natural history is nothing but the naming of the visible, the mistake of the verb, the jamming of the noun, the inadequacy of the adjective, the dismemberment of the declension, the misplacement of the adverb, the insecurity of the article, the repetition of the conjunction, the sinking of the complement, the monotheism of the preposition, the soliloquy of the proposition, the desert of discourse, the error of experience.

At the end, the project proposed a show, instead of a demonstrative essay. No pedagogical intent, but an experience that intended to investigate with extreme sincerity the place that is the theater, proposing it to those who have seen unimaginable things in their own existence. The 14 participants, between the ages of 54 and 80, worked on their perception of being on stage, creating, individually and collectively, expressive paths of extraordinary richness and depth. Their ages and presence have been sources of non-biographical investigation, but of experience and construction of the scene.
