The video Rebus per Ada, a motion-picture splinter of the project Ada, a family chronicle, inspired by Vladimir Nabokov's novel of the same name, is a game of enigmas in form of obsessive dream throughout the novel itself. The image of dream, after all, is made of solids and voids, like enigmas, rebuses. The artists who intend to place the audience at the centre of that elaborate hallucination which is characteristic of dreams, or at least to bring it to their minds in a really persuasive way, are at the very same time enigmatists and hypnotists: their task is to bring perception to a level of unconditional surrender. At the awakening, dreams will appear like a ciphered language, and their aspect of cryptogram will be suggested by the tale itself, but only in the precise moment preceeding the awakening. The power of game has used up its hypnotic resources, and the other game comes into play: the endless delight of conjecture. It's here that spectators become the authors of their very own dream, peculiarly crossing that novel, Ada or ardor, a family chronicle. After finishing the novel, which really proceeds by enigmas, they will realize that, from the very beginning, it was nothing but the story of their very own dream, and that story had already mysteriously brought them at the extreme edge of the final conjecture; and finally, to be really lived as an enigma, it only needed that deprival, that peripheral and central hole, that precise missing side which spectators themselves were and are.
