About

Concita De Gregorio, longtime columnist for “la Repubblica”, brings her bestselling novel to the theatre and weaves together three generations, three eras of history and three seasons of life in the voices of Marilù, Angela and Adè. Three lives, three ages of the same wound and the same struggle to stay alive in a society that still today oppresses and compresses bodies that do not conform to its dominant design. On stage, Concita De Gregorio is not only the author, but a living presence, a voice that enters and exits the narrative, interrupts it and inhabits it. She plays Marilù and, at the same time, herself. She moves through the material of the novel like someone who reveals something deeply intimate within fiction. The show thus moves on the border between fiction and reality, between narration and memory, questioning the way in which, intertwined together, we inherit and transmit love and trembling. And the attempt, each time anew, to finally become oneself. Dates: - Tuesday 19 January at 20:30 - Wednesday 20 January at 19:00 - Thursday 21 January at 19:00
