A performance that Monica Casadei has imagined as a futuristic "action ballet" and that, in a contamination of languages, involves the whole creative body of Artemis, which is enriched by the costumes made by visual artist Daniela Usai and the musical elaborations of composer Luca Vianini.

But who is Figaro really? In Monica Casadei's reading, Figaro is the prototype of the successful man in today's world. Rossini's hero becomes the emblem of one who succeeds in meeting - with effectiveness, vivacity and savoir faire - the expectations of a society that demands every day to achieve its goals by optimizing time and energy.
