Sunshine by William Mastrosimone is an amazing text that tells the story of an encounter between two lonely souls. – says co-star and director Francesco Branchetti – and it seems far from each other but in reality and the points do not communicate in depth. She is Sunshine, her name means sunshine, but her body only warms the eyes, because she is a peep show fisherman, she gives her feelings to the lonely desire of men who, by inserting a few coins into a kind of juke-box la eros, they are content to peer through the glass booth, look but don’t touch. He has nothing to do with this world and he does his work with other bodies, those entrusted to his care, he is an emergency operator in an ambulance in an emergency room. Their first meeting is normal, but then a love story is born and it all happens in one night, but with an introduction and an epilogue. The scene opens in the colorful lights of the Paradise Club, with a girl in its viewing window. Then the plot takes shape in his empty house, where Sunlight bursts incognito on a stormy evening. And the real match begins. He, running away from his husband who beats him, is in a love crisis for his wife who has left him. From a difficult time of confrontation, the two pass and share their sorrows and finally find themselves as soul mates to start a new life together.
“Sunshine” is an extravagant and beautiful text at the same time. In these pages William Mastrosimone tells us the story of a modern fairy tale. Perhaps a meeting between a charming prince and a woman to be saved and redeemed. A metropolis full of arrivals and departures, with a sad and shy spirit, but a rich and vibrant area was chosen for the meeting between the two. He is strong, honest, tough, but sweet.
A person who clings to the meaning he wanted to give to his life, in an attempt not to enter the world of the Sun. And Sunshine is afraid but the wise man looks at his companions with an increasingly restrained sincerity. They will fight mercilessly. Cruelty and compassion sit together in a stage where comedy will serve as a counterpoint to a painful and angular score, full of groans and sighs of two souls perhaps torn apart and seemingly lost but who will end up getting together even if only. for a while or maybe who knows more will happen. The direction will try to restore to the text the wonderful ability to explore the human soul and express feelings with a wonderful lightness of touch as well as a strong and deep feeling and humanity. Hopes, dreams, dreams, needs, anxieties, fears, illnesses, sorrows, pains, loneliness mingle in a soft and poignant dance that draws us into the intimate and private sphere of a newly born relationship, of encounter, perhaps of love. Themes and music will accompany us on this journey in the emotions, passion and poetry of two characters portrayed in an unusual way by the author.
