On the banks of the Arno, Luca's body is found. Murder, suicide, accident? In a minimalist setting, three voices intertwine: that of the deceased, who continues to question his life and loves, and those of Anna, his partner, and Leo, his secret friend. Part intimate investigation, part poignant narrative, *A Boy from Italy* plunges us into the labyrinth of desire, silences, and wounds, where each character seeks to reconstruct their own truth. Through this vibrant trio, the play delicately explores romantic identity, the contradictions of feelings, and the acceptance of loss, carried by the power of Philippe Besson's words and the intensity of the actors' performances.

In Saint-Nazaire, Vincent and Juliette walk in a silent procession, surrounded by strangers who have come to pay tribute to their 14-year-old son, Hugo, a victim of bullying. Driven by an inner monologue, Vincent revisits memories, silences, and missed opportunities in a heartbreaking attempt to understand the incomprehensible.
In this powerful indictment of everyday violence, stupidity and intolerance, the author explores the intimate wounds of grief, analyzes the insidious mechanisms of harassment, and highlights collective responsibilities in the face of one of the scourges of our time.
