Qualcosa a cui pensare (something to think about), a romantic comedy, is an appointment with ourselves, with the generation of the 1990s facing up to getting older. The main characters Jeer and Plinn are aware that they cannot remain unmoved and indifferent when faced with disaster and the changes taking place in the world, but are unable to understand what to be, what to become.

Teatro Grassi
A romantic comedy which sees the presence of Jeer and Plinn (Giacomo and Paola). They are flat-mates approaching their thirties, the reflection of an impudent, idealistic and ironically irresponsible generation, forced to face up to the joys and the difficulties that this crucial moment in their lives here in Italy brings them. But Qualcosa a cui pensare is also a refined game of seduction which places the two young adults in the most traditional dynamics of a couple and produces immediate empathy between the characters and the audience. An ironic and passionate work, more like a memory or a dream: the small portrait of a generation that wishes to shed its skin and find its own identity in order to face the future. Qualcosa a cui pensare is an appointment with ourselves, with the generation of the 1990s, with the need to change, aware that one cannot remain unmoved and indifferent when faced with disaster and the changes taking place in the world, but are unable to understand what to be, what to become. The Milanese Chronos3 theatrical company was created in January 2011 at the Paolo Grassi School of Dramatic Arts of Milan from the meeting of three directors: Manuel Renga, Vittorio Borsari and Valentina Malcotti. In the first three years of existence the company has been a creative forge which has led to the creation of various projects that have become productions staged with a regular group of graduate actors from the Paolo Grassi School.
