Spectators of other peoples play-lives, it happens to all of us: we look around but we don't see, we hear, from time to time, noises and voices, while our thought runs after our past happiness, an unsatisfied wish, a neverending pain, or simply after ourselves. Its name is loneliness, broken when many lonelinesses merge. And the spectators enter the playgraound with the players.
"A game. Over here, the players; over there, the spectators. The spectators are people with what they keep inside, what normally can't be seen, on view; here they are transparent to themselves. Everyone enters and leaves their own mind following the rhythm of the game" (U. Ferrara).
