Synopsis

Inside every living being there is a great potential that can assume many shapes, it can be refined by ourselves and can define itself independently, without us realising it.

Cactus tells of the many facets that a personality can assume, of how trying to find an idea consistent with our vision of ourselves, the mind can travel and reach more or less rational conclusions, dictated by the plurality of the different I's with which we live.

The purpose of Cactus is to encourage you to explore yourself without filters, making space for the many potentialities that we ignore, even if self-judgement often raises censorship.

Fundamental for the fulfilment of the thought is the choice to stage three different artistic forms, all representing a single mind.

Even more important is how they go beyond their own patterns, how, regardless of the role we try to play, often a different part of us emerges, one of the many belonging to a single puzzle of which every day we can better understand a small piece.

"Sometimes you just need to look inside, like a cactus in the desert."
