Three studies from the story Want to sleep by Anton Chekhov
Want to Sleep is one of the most intense is famous stories of Anton Chekhov.
Cuocolo / Bosetti present it in three different rooms in three different ways: reading / interpretation / descent.
Rooms for Error begins the exploration of the story, a privileged form of these years. The story it binds well with the work carried so far forward. From the architectural point of view of storytelling, the short-story is what are the rooms in a house.
