Adonis Filipi
My Story
His well-thought directions are distinguished for originality in search of forms of expression, through the depth of the dramatic premise, where the poetic attitude stands out. The acoustics of the characters, wrapped in the emotional coloring of the stage material, are conveyed by the contrast, the vibrant of movement, emphasis on visuals images, making the work a tangible constellation.
