Six Characters in Search of an Author

  • “Truth, reality, and theatre collide on one stage.”

    Step into the theatre—and into uncertainty. Six Characters in Search of an Author begins as an ordinary rehearsal, until six silhouetted figures emerge from the shadows, demanding their story be told. Unfinished, abandoned, and insistent, they carry a truth too unsettling to be contained.

    A philosophical duel erupts between the Father and the Director, as each questions the nature of reality, perception, and performance. Around them, the Mother, Step-Daughter, and Son insist on their own experiences, their memories, and their pain, refusing to be simplified or silenced. The actors in the ensemble respond with disbelief and ridicule, intensifying the clash between lived experience and staged representation.

    Haunting, provocative, and unlike anything else in modern theatre, Pirandello’s masterpiece invites audiences into a world where ideas collide, certainty dissolves, and the stage becomes a space for questions that cannot be ignored.
