Evening is falling, but Séraphine is not afraid of anything, because her dad opens The blue book. His favorite. The one with which she takes the key to the fields or the way to the city, according to moods and desires. Together, they leave the equally blue room and let themselves be carried away by the elements, guided by the questions that the adventure raises. Halfway through, the mother takes over this joyful epic. Duet behind The Rumor of Venice, Germano Zullo and Albertine unite their talent here once again in what is an ode to reading. The escape and the delicacy of the parent-child bond are perceptible in the text imbued with poetry, a series of dialogues that open up new and unsuspected horizons. Albertine’s paintings in contrasting colors unfold on the double beaches, extending the scope of this journey as intriguing as it is comforting. The characters who seem to be carried by the current, airy and stretchy, are staged in spaces that are sometimes surreal, sometimes bucolic, reflections of this crossing with a thousand possibilities.
