Alex Frei, the director’s uncle, is a musical actor and dancer who has already trod the main theatre stages in Europe. For the director, however, he’s almost a stranger, a “charismatic and fascinating” relative that he only used to meet at Christmas or at other very rare family occasions. From a very young age, Alex realizes he’s different from his schoolmates, football and sports in general are of little interest for him, while he’s much more fascinated by playing with a little kitchen and a mini supermarket. His passion for singing, dancing and disguises come soon, also thanks to the great myths that Alex used to watch performing on TV. |
