Gaspare Dori is a famous contemporary Italian playwright. His plays have received prestigious awards. Elephants' Long Walk is a play about how people are connected to each other in this life and perhaps beyond. The play speaks of respect, patience and understanding. This is a psychological drama, although it can be called both a detective story and a thriller. There are two different episodes on stage, which at first glance seem unrelated, but then their connection becomes obvious. The heroes, both during life and after death, try to escape from the trap prepared for them not only by life, but also by death. One of the heroes who loves elephants says: “Elephants are distinguished by their kindness and wisdom. They feel great both in a team and alone. A group of elephants is not a herd, it is something more. It's like a small community. And one day they leave, leaving their territory. And no one knows where they go. Nobody knows why they made this decision. Nobody knows their purpose." That's how people are.
