Giocattoli futuristi (2005)

Futurists Toys is a grotesque tale that sparks a sense of loss and amazement in the viewer via a dreamlike vision. It’s inspired by Depero’s paintings and his “Balli Plastici,” the “futuristic theatre of marionettes”.



Claudio Castelli wants to wake sleepy consciences from their mechanicist torpor.
The story also touches issues raised by classic novels such as Dante's “Divine Commedy” and Manzoni's “The Betrothed” and wants to provoke thinking for young people ruled by routine.
