With the Love Scimone Sframeli Company continues its dramatic path to the edges of humanity, within non-places, where the characters do not have names and are "all old men."
In scene two couples: the old man and the old woman, the master nor the fireman. Four figures moving among the graves. The scene is in fact a cemetery.
Time is suspended, perhaps, are living the last days of their lives.
Dialogues newspapers and surreal, fast pace that intercept relationships, attention and physical demands that conceal the need on the threshold between the truth and tragedy of everyday life.
Love is an extreme condition and perhaps eternal.

The Compagnia Scimone Sframeli born in 1994 thanks to the artistic collaboration between Spiro Scimone and Francesco Sframeli. In that year, the two actors, driven by the need to seek new languages, they stage the first work written by Nunzio Scimone, in Messina language. The work (IDI prize "New Composers" 1994 Gold Medal IDI for the dramaturgy 1995), is crucial leg of their artistic career, thanks to the meeting with one of the most prominent and influential figures of the international theater: Carlo Cecchi .
