Abstract: Theatres without a land; the pious illusion of the death of the theatre; the «upside-down amateurs»; the collapse of the regime of subsidies; the deceptiveness of nostalgia; the blinding light of success: ideally, the questions come from a room. “Room 26 could contain up to 50 persons. It was, moreover, a place for informal discussion as well as for regular lessons (L’Aquila, Palazzo Camponeschi, Faculty of Arts and Philosophy). Beyond the large window, all one could see were rooftops, cupolas and bell towers. Now it is tangibly in ruins. After the earthquake, only one TV set remained intact. In its electrodomestic heart it must have thought that it was itself the most important thing.”
