Cino Granata’s self-learning painting passion passes across the theatre passion. His other temptation had been music, which would have led him far away from Verona.

Strange choice giving up an American-based career and remain firmly anchored to its local roots, where escapes happen through imagination, thoughts and emotions. Emotions that Cino Granata has the chance to display on a very particular playground, the one set aside on the stage. Strange choice which may be understood getting to know Cino Granata and thinking of his childhood years when it all happened.

The choice he has gone through has been faced with extreme calm, as you do not perceive any trace of sorrow in him. But his eyes express melancholy, looks back-word and in-word and reflect the same sensations of his words and his visions of light.

There is a veil of sadness through which images of lonely countryside are perceived and proposed, a veil which lands also on his “alter ego” sights, pictured while a lightning nails its profiles against the shadows.
