Summary/Abstract: To consider something or someone different is to discriminate. Objectively, this term has no moral connotation. You take a category and relate to it by choosing different references. Pippo Delbono manages to synthesize the beauty inside the difference; an intense, painful, even tough beauty. For him, contrast is not a method, but an acceptance of identity: marginalization as an existential condition. He places himself in both seats: in the audience – and inside the show. Spectator and actor, director, he changes the perspectives because he embraces them all, thus indicating that each of our roles is interchangeable. We can always be the other or different for someone, a group, a context, and the list could go on. One of the central images of Amore performance this year, at the International Theatre Festival in Sibiu, is a heartbreaking Pietà illustration.
