The Theater is a book about illusion, which becomes an inseparable part of life. It explores the desire that enters a parallel trajectory with the wants and limits of each individual.

The heroine of Marino Louri's novella fulfills her great desire to become the star of the unique theater in the city, The Theater. In a city where its residents have plunged into routine and spiritual lethargy, the performances of this unique theater are the most significant social event.

A young actress is hired at the theater. When she discovers its terrible secret, she will embark on a journey that will overturn her perspective on the world and her life. She faces its mysteries, the rules that govern it, and the myth that surrounds it. Rules that flicker between logic and madness.

The shadow of the Theater is its owner. The man who plays with the minds of his actors and marks the life of the heroine. With a paranoid nature, he reveals the characters and abilities of his actors in a disarming way... until the moment he disappears.

The author flirts with the metaphysical, penetrating into the decisions of his characters, testing and challenging them. With his writing, he cleverly escapes the clichés of stories where the unrealistic is stated openly. He leaves you with a taste of the anxiety of the inexplicable until the last page, without, of course, being sure that he wants to reveal the secret to you.
