On the night of 1 November 1975, Pier Paolo Pasolini was murdered on the beach at Ostia, near Rome, in circumstances that remain unexplained.
Almost fifty years later, four artists meet again on a theatre stage. Plunging into the night of the murder, they try to turn it into a show. Yes, but which one? Which story to tell, and how?

On stage, the actors revisit Pasolini's legacy, imagining a collective work of writing, bubbling and unfinished, with incredible vitality in the face of the challenges of our time.

The poet's life, his murder, the battles he waged and the phenomena against which he fought are unfolded in a multiplicity of narratives. Reconstructions, interrogations, confrontations and hypotheses act as an attempt to exhaust a place and a subject. By staging their reflections, En une nuit - Notes pour un spectacle follows the shifting contours of a laboratory where a theatre is invented that is both documentary and fantastical, committed and dreamlike.
