Lorenzo Donati on Falena n.11, Se​ptember 8th 2026

‘If it is true that collective memory is passed down as long as someone recounts events they have witnessed, here not only does a circle come full circle, allowing people and stories to be heard, but we also reflect on the very nature of an archive in the age of the digital humanities.

The performative clues that bring warmth back to the archive are subtle yet persistent: the semicircle of sheets is also reminiscent of a laid table; all the tapes have been digitised and the testimonies transcribed (we see the words scrolling whilst we hear the voices), yet without those voices at the microphone, without the gaps in the digitisation, without the Romagna ‘s’ sounds of the survivors, everything would have remained lifeless in a folder. Thus even the title of the show, the result of a mis-transcription by artificial intelligence (from ‘starnutiva’ to ‘esterno, dio’), becomes a warning: do not erase, at all costs do not erase the wholly human essence of wandering.' 

’​​

Silvia Maiuri on Teatro e Critica, November 12th 2025​

"Imagination is a fundamental requirement for the experience offered by this show. But the audio is so evocative and enhanced by the theatrical setting built around it that it would be impossible not to empathise. Often interspersed with music from the early 1990s, as recorded on previously used audio cassettes, the voices guide us on a journey of awareness. The effect is similar to that of a documentary made up solely of vintage-sounding voices, awkward laughter and the long silences of an impossible conversation [...]"

“Ceredi and Onorato reopen the archive on stage, leaf through the materials, assemble the fragments and prepare the audience to listen to the voices. The archive thus becomes not a monument, but a living relationship with memory, a shared elaboration.

The heart of the work is listening, understood as a theatrical act. The recorded voices – with their timing, hesitations, inflections – compose a collective narrative of the years 1943-1945 that does not erase individual identities: Ferdinando, Pierina, Celio (among others) re-emerge with stories and characters, escaping the anonymity of trauma. The scene follows suit, making room for the magnetic tape and its “flaws” as part of the truth of the document, constructing a path that also declares the fallibility of research: putting things back in order, making sense of them, accepting that some pieces remain opaque. For Filippo Michelangelo Ceredi, who has often intertwined biography and history (think of Between Me and P.), this new creation is precisely the continuation of research into the relationship between archive and presence, between document and imagination.​
