Edificio 3. Storia di un intento assurdo is a comedy, about five characters, who share the confined space of an office; their personal stories intertwine there, with moments of emotion, grotesque effects and comedy. There is Sandra, a single woman who does everything she can to get pregnant (Giorgia Senesi); Ettore (Rosario Lisma), a 50-year-old mama's boy, who only after his mother's death ventures into his first awkward love experiences; there is the confusing, intrusive, affectionate Monica (Valentina Picello), who, not knowing how to live her own life, slips into those of others; there is the embattled love between Manuel, a fragile and violent boy (Emanuele Turetta) and the more balanced Sofia (Stella Piccioni). Betrayals, misunderstandings, irrepressible desires, dreams and regrets. All life before the eyes of the viewers, who recognize themselves in these stories, because Claudio Tolcachir knows how to put us in front of the mirror of our feelings. Written with great truth, the play is very funny, and paints moving and comical characters. We are the five inhabitants of Edificio 3. We are the ones who regret our first love, who struggle daily against loneliness, who in mourning discover ourselves, who betray us with those we least expect, who cannot find the words, who lie to hide, who pain makes fools of us, we, naive at fifty, disenchanted at twenty.
