Look at the Lights, My Love

Valeria Solarino and Silvia Gallerano, directed by Michela Cescon, are the protagonists of Guarda le luci, amore mio, a play adapted from the book of the same name by French writer Annie Ernaux, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature. In 2012 the French publisher Seuil asked Ernaux for a book for the series Raccontare la vita. The author chose the hypermarket without hesitation. The result was a diary in which Ernaux recorded for a year her regular visits to the Auchan hypermarket in Cergy, a suburb of Paris inhabited by people of 130 different nationalities. An unprecedented journey into everyday life dedicated to the hypermarket, seen as a collective space of memory and time, a theatre of the secrets of our collective life.
