M. B., Il Pudore Bene in Vista / Well Visible Restraint, «Lighting Design», n. 14, Milano, dicembre 1991 (excerpt from).

The theatre workshop of the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania has produced a new company, which will ayail itself of the strength and tensions learnt there. Directed by Fabrizio Crisafulli, the teacher who founded the workshop three years ago, t   his company owes its name to one of the performances they produced, i.e. Il pudore bene in vista, which was staged for the first time during the Wokshop-Festival promoted in Fara Sabina last September by the Centre for Applied Theatre Arts of Latium and by Potlach Theatre.

 This new group works in a field which lies in the middle between theatre and visual arts: scenic composition. A sort of performance where almost no word is spoken, essentially made up of images, sounds, lights, colours and movement. A theatre of poetry, which has nothing to do with ‘son et lumière’, which intends to give a look to the past,  to historical, to the ‘image-theatre’ of the '70s, though with a little bit of humour.

 ln particular,  the performance Il pudore bene in vista intends to be an open study on the relationship between light and scene, light and body, light and objects. The pertormance  is based on rules ‘theatrical’. A theatre which makes no reference to a text, but which becomes a text itself, written on the stage, during the rehearsals, in a work of non-stop verification of the interplays between images, sounds, colours and and movement. Written and directed by Crisafulli, the performance has been set up by a group of visual operators coming from the stage-design school of the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania.
