What Are You Afraid Of?

Carola Susani & Virginia Clericetti

Hand in hand, two siblings embark on a journey into the depths of fear. Page after page, they confide and whisper in their ears their deepest fears, some of which, indissoluble, accompany many of us even as adults: that a love never returns, loneliness which others might force upon us, strange and inexplicable things even for those who know more than us…

Attracted and at the same time frightened of this vortex that becomes bigger and more encircling, they face it, courageously, giving each other strength. Until it’s time to go to bed… An ode to fear – a great ally of the “growing up” and of the bond between siblings.
