È solo un lungo tramonto is a mechanism of textual distortion for a theatre of forgetting — a theatrical hauntology.
Giacomoni recounts: "I recorded my father's memories, transcribed them, and dictated them to my computer, which transcribed them again. I then re-read them, re-dictated them, and had them transcribed once more, in an iterative process that gradually dislocated the text, just as my father's memory is dislocated by dementia. “The time is out of joint.” We live in a present that cannot be remembered, haunted by a past that cannot be forgotten.
It is a slow disintegration into silence. There are no plot twists — perhaps not even a drama. It’s just a long sunset."

BIO
Jacopo Giacomoni is a playwright, performer, and musician. His practice weaves together writing, the body, and sound to activate playful-ritual theatrical devices in which the audience is drawn into short circuits of time and perception.
He holds a degree in Philosophy, with a thesis on the existence of fictional characters. In 2024, he won the Biennale Teatro Playwrights Call with his text Tacet, and in 2023 he received the Franco Quadri Special Mention at the Riccione Prize for It’s Just a Long Sunset.
He develops works that assault existing texts, stage tragic elections, imaginary funerals, and games for a second theatrical life.
As a performer, he combines acting with free improvisation on the saxophone and research into non-idiomatic sounds.
