Summary/Abstract: The Studio Hall and the Research Center „The Art of Theatre – Research and Creation” hosted a confession performance and the project The Dialogue between Generations, and completed their mission by bringing among students of the School of Theatre of Iasi two winners of the fight with common sense – words, life and stage. Fall is not a performance about the fall but about search and ascension. Emanuel Emanuel Florentin is not an actor who has fallen but the one who has been seeking, rebuilding himself and has ascended, taking advantage of the title; we can call him a high-flier. Each sequence is introduced through a succession of keywords created to help you understand the roots of the dream: "energy, arms, legs, face, clown." Among them, appear the names of masters under whose shadow the actor seems to hide, in fact, a tribute is brought to them. The actor depicts his artistic pedigree by movements and words: a mountebank, Charlot, Decroux, Marceaux or the Mummenschantz company. Thus, Emanuel Florentin becomes a branch of a magical tree – of a non-verbal theater of life.
