How it feels

This Italian documentary honors the D'Origlia-Palmi theater company, which was popular from the 1930s to the 1960s. The filmmaker spent four years gathering material from dusty archives to tell the story of this unique troupe.

What happens

Ombre Lucenti è un documentario, della durata di 45 minuti, prodotto in Italia da Rai International nel 2006, dopo quattro anni di riprese, in omaggio alla Compagnia D'Origlia-Palmi. Il regista e ideatore Nino Bizzarri negli "scantinati polverosi" di Carmelo Bene trovò abbondanza di materiale attinente a questa singolare compagnia teatrale in auge dagli anni '30 agli anni '60.
