Diario di uno spettatore clandestino

(

Diary of a clandestine spectator

) is a collection of drawings made by french illustrator François Olislaeger, who visually documented the rehearsals of

Guerra e Pace

(

War and Peace

) directed by Andrea Baracco, during Perugia's 2021 lockdown. The six illustrated diaries, bound separately and collected in a black box with an embossed silk print on top, constitute an intimate report of an artist witnessing a play become more real than the world outside.
