About Nicht Offnen (Italy)
Ce de Lu' is a theatrical project by Italian company Nicht Offnen, exploring family memory, inherited trauma and emotional violence through a visual and symbolic language that moves fluidly between realism and vision. Set in a mountain house — a liminal space that is at once refuge and prison, nest and den — the play follows two siblings who, through a series of returns, are forced to reckon with the material and psychological remains of a past they cannot lay to rest. Played and directed by Paulette Rufin and Pietro Moser, written by Annalisa Scopinich. Runs 60 minutes at the studio venue, ages 12 and over.
Why see this show?
A European production that takes the haunted family home seriously — not as horror-film shorthand, but as a space where the past physically remains. The dual performer-directors give it a striking intimacy.
