Horror movies hold a complicated space in the queer community: historically misogynist, and often homo- and transphobic, the genre has also been inadvertently feminist and open to subversive readings. It Came from the Closet features twenty-five original essays by writers speaking to this relationship, through connections both empowering and oppressive. From Carmen Maria Machado on Jennifer’s Body, Jude Ellison S. Doyle on In My Skin, Addie Tsai on Dead Ringers, and many more, these conversations convey the rich reciprocity between queerness and horror.

Chi si ritira dal mondo, cosiddetto sociale, è il soggetto di questo bozzetto drammatico, dal titolo “Assente”. Tratta la vita di un individuo che, vicino all'età di venticinque anni, si rende conto del "vuoto" che la vita gli sta proponendo in maniera alquanto ingiustificata. È questa nuova condizione vitale che egli non sa più gestire, e che lo rende "distaccato" da tutto quello che prima lo attirava. L'antica Illusione (di quando aveva mille speranze, mille certezze, mille sogni) cede ora il posto ad una Delusione smisurata quanto la sua disperata nostalgia verso un Tempo andato e che non riesce più a ritrovare.

Join me on a journey through some of my favorite Shakespearean speeches, carefully selected for their beauty and insight. These passages not only showcase Shakespeares unmatched mastery of language but also reveal his profound understanding of human nature. As Orson Welles once noted, he speaks to everyone, and we all claim him. While its often said that a truly great Shakespearian actor needs a unique and extraordinary voice, that doesnt mean that everyday individuals cant read, listen to, and revel in the magic of Shakespeares words. (Summary by Martin Clifton)
