Three on the bench

Aldo Nicolajs play tells the story of three elderly people the retired days of the last few living members of the iron generation The survived and struggled XX the end of the century reaches them in a crowded housing estate The woman remained gentle and cheerful but the once strong boys who were once brave soldiers then hardworking workers waisthigh fathers proud selfconscious men were now mindful shabby grumpy gentlemen Who alone who lives just tolerated by his family but in any case lives alone ends up in this little space waiting on the bench waiting without a goal and exchanging words with someone who has acted similarly They dont know each other but slowly as they run into each other on the bench theyll become friends And their friendship gradually fills them up the feeling of emptiness is replaced by the security of belonging somewhere the reassuring routine of newly acquired habits
