Title

Assignment

The poster made for the Borgio Verezzi Theater Festival. It could be exposed upside down and the event brochures were also printed with two different covers.

Approach

I would have liked to rappresent hell and heaven, tragedy and comedy, the two aspects of theater.

Results

The optical illusion generated by playing with the ambiguity of figure-background rappresents itself the ambiguity of reality, the two different souls which lives in every man and woman, and in the actor in particular.
