Tiptoeing, whispering, Sarah Moon guides us on a nocturnal exploration of this deserted place, inhabited by shadows and unsettling ghosts. Nothing better than this silence and solitude could unite memory and imagination. Antoine Terrasses How strange a place the theatre is. It is a place of fiction par excellence, a land where dreams of every kind become reality, characterized by a long history that renews itself every time a dream is represented on stage. The Teatro Regio di Torino is not exempt from this magical mystery. It is a treasure chest, pervaded by history and tradition, yet always ready to transform itself whenever a new performance is held. Sarah Moon, known for her poetic and unique gaze and for her evanescent black-and-white photographs, has walked through the foyers, dressing rooms, and the stage of the theatre, pausing on its façade and the atmosphere that surrounds it. This is not simply a book about architecture or a guided tour through the Teatro Regio’s halls. This book is a performance within a performance.
