Α FEW WORDS ABOUT THE PLAY

Carlo Goldoni had the theatre meet the world somewhere else, somewhere different from where they’ d meet till then. Which marks the start of theatrical modernity. Life in “The Holiday Trilogy” is like a game of snakes and ladders: a struggle to climb high that ends in a fall, a Sisyphean torment repeated ad infinitum. Life puts up a struggle—desperately, hopelessly, joylessly, but ultimately ineffectively. There is only one road to salvation, and it lies in generating an illusion. Things aren’t going at all well, but we keep on playing the game of impressions. Holidaying is the only value that favours everything. Holidays render the unattainable attainable. They are a utopia. A comedy that will never end.
