Like the Roman playwright whom it takes its name from, Plauto scans the past seeking ideas for the future.
It does it by staging a single actor, the wood, which can be free to perform its whole repertoire of shapes: flat, curved, pointed...
A distant inspiration defined the approach of its creation: the monolithic structure. From the main concepts of a mono-block and mono-material, Plauto has gradually taken shape in the minds of Paolo Cappello and Simone Sabatti, up to the result we see today. Its shaped top seems to float on the "leaf-cut" legs, thus balancing the different weights and shapes that compose its figure.
