The theater is the material and transfigured place of many of Lattes' fantasies. His puppets act on this stage, but it can also be a metaphor for the place where the dramas or comedies of the great theater of memory take place. The little theater is seen from the front, inexorably empty and full of expectations. It occupies all the space of the painting eliminating the environment and therefore placing itself in an abstract dimension: it is not simply a domestic object, a living room object or a child's game, but expands its presence into an elsewhere that fascinates and disturbs at the same time.
