ENTRY DESCRIPTION
"There are no roles on this stage.
Between the curtains and the canvas — the doom of being oneself.
Every fold on the body is a brushstroke of lived years,
every object around — a fragment of a still life of memory.
In this somber theater of everyday life, he is both the spectator and the author,
and the whole drama comes down to one thing:
to remain genuine, even when no one is watching anymore."
