Five strangers find themselves in an unremarkable provincial rehearsal room for an acting class: that’s how Circle Mirror Transformation begins—a brilliant comedy by Annie Baker, one of the most original voices in new American drama and a Pulitzer Prize winner. Over six weeks of theatre exercises, the characters discover unexpected connections, and through comic and touching moments, they create a delicate portrait of our fragility and the hidden desires in every human heart. Described by the New York Times as “absorbing, unblinking, and sharply funny,” the play is tender, surprising, and intensely truthful, pushing us to reflect on theatre, life, and our relationship with Time. Directed and performed by Valerio Binasco, the production—in a translation by Monica Capuani and Cristina Spina—also features Pamela Villoresi, Alessia Giuliani, Andrea Di Casa, and Maria Trenta.
