L'aube point sur Cinecittà. Le Maestro s’apprête a réaliser son nouveau film inspiré de "l’Amérique" de Kafka. C'est alors que surgit une équipe de télévision japonaise venue interviewer Federico Fellini. La suite est un délire autobiographique dont Cinecittà est le centre. "C'est un film dans lequel la caméra est utilisée comme un crayon, un pinceau qui tracerait des hiéroglyphes. C'est une idée graphique, picturale, visuelle, le contraire du cinéma qui raconte une histoire." Prix du 40e anniversaire du Festival de Cannes. Grand prix festival de Moscou 1987.

A look at life through the lens of sexuality, in a world that has lost its soul and the ability to love. Ten stories of ten protagonists (from 20-45 years old) who live in a metropolis, not necessarily identifiable, in search of the meaning of their own existence. A bitter comedy that combines comic and paradoxical elements with the cruelty of everyday life. A whirl of encounters, sex, illness, drugs, loneliness and pain.

Joaquín Gaztambide’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream was first performed at the Teatro del Circo in 1852. Participating in the revival of this comic opera are Miguel Ángel Gómez-Martínez, the veteran musical director, who considers Gaztambide to be “interesting, enjoyable and the holder of an extraordinary musical quality”, and Marco Carniti, the stage director, who wants to make us enjoy the beauty of a work which cheerfully veers between dream and reality. The libretto has been completely revamped and the action moved to Rome in the 1950s. Broadcast live from the Teatro de la Zarzuela on February 10th, 2019.
