For Antonio Latella, the question of memory is fundamental: what is historical memory and what is personal memory, which often is nothing more than a recollection. In The Glass World, the action begins with the memories of a son. A son who returns to the place he once left, in order to spend his final days again with his family. What is true and what is distorted by his memory we cannot know; nor can we know whether events actually unfolded as he remembers and recounts them to us. This is the true mystery of this great and moving work, where the theme of transparency becomes a theme of searching.
