The winning project of the "Portraits on Stage" 2021 competition – Laboratori permanenti combines body dimension and puppetry, bringing on stage a fundamental moment in all of our lives: leaving the nest and taking flight.

Bruno, a brilliant artist, is going through a crisis. Alone and with no contacts with the outside world, in the days following an art exhibition that could make him famous, he has not yet managed to create his own work. But his “creative block” is destined to be overcome by the material itself: PAPER, at first raw paper and then refined paper, which, despite Bruno's own wishes and will, becomes more and more independent, until it makes him realize that the best way to live in the world is to open the door and let each of us go out into the world on our own legs following the path we want to follow.
