Sonnet Caffè
by LAB121
Sonnet Caffè captures the essence of a performance marking the culmination of a theater course at Associazione Culturale LAB121.
The video begins with the echo of footsteps, each step creating a rhythm as the actors' movements are carefully aligned—first moving into the depth of the stage, then advancing toward the audience. The sound of footsteps persists, grounding the scene in motion and intention.
The performance explores the connection between body and gesture, the power of words, and the fluid transitions between states of being. The actors recite Shakespeare’s Sonnet 30, their bodies reflecting themes of love, loyalty, and eternal connection. Through repeated gestures, the sonnet breathes life into the stage, where the performers establish a silent, yet powerful connection through their words, bodies, and presence.
