What is a ghost? This is the question that Edith Wharton asks herself in her latest collection of short stories entitled Ghosts. The ghost is a shadow, an essence, a foreign figure that instills fear because it comes from an unknown world or from a distant time. The ghost connects us with the threshold, with death, but also with the deepest part of ourselves. Starting from a sound score that plunges us into an elsewhere and from a work on evanescent images in which the characters of five stories are gradually incarnated, Fanny & Alexander crosses the dark zone where reality and mystery meet. Between explosive apparitions, twists and very subtle anxieties, the universe of Wharton’s stories, from which the show starts, questions us about the sense of end, about nostalgia, regret, remorse, fear and love for the invisible.
