    ‘Vocation’ is the journey of a theater artist in his fears, desires and awareness related to the practice of his profession.
    The artist is inspired by fragments of plays where protagonists are theater  actors and by fragments of his own repertoire as author.
    In the microcosmos of the stage he finds himself floating in the restlessness condition of man: fear of failure, of madness, desire to escape, questions about motivations and vocation, fear of getting lost in human relationship dynamics, throwing a glance at the moment of  his sunset and  at the moment of farewell to  his own passion.
    Toghether with h Manfredini a second actor plays his role on the stage: he embodies the role of reason, the attempt  to bring sobriety a to a job that the actor tends to lead towards extreme directions.
