Feather and crash. Laughter and tears. Poetry and grotesque drama, set in the Vesuvius area of the 1980s, to tell the story of the relationship between a mother and a daughter during the various stages of their lives. A dialogue woven with words, live music—with classical and electric guitar, ūd, and tambourines—and graphic signs where the proxemics of a mother perpetuating the millennial legacies of female models intertwines with the disjointed and clumsy attempts at rebellion of a daughter chasing her own self-determination, paying high prices in terms of dignity and psychophysical integrity.
In front of the audience, a living mirror materializes, in which the femininity of one is reflected in the other, revealing that cursed inevitable relationship that still exists in certain contexts between being a woman and shame, femininity, and scandal. The play presents archetypal characters, with a contaminated language, imprisoned in the double mirroring Mother-Father, Mother-Daughter, Father-Daughter that embody the struggle of autonomous choice in a narrow-minded environment and the incommunicability and unspeakability of patriarchal families with their taboos on affection, corporeality, emotions, sexuality, love, and self-perception.
"Presenting a comprehensive theater project as an author, director, and performer is a tortuous and complex challenge, yet it is part of our tradition from Scarpetta to De Filippo, Viviani, Ruccello, to Moscato, to whom I irreverently feel I belong," says the playwright, who puts the teachings of this 'school' at the service of fragile figures but capable of telling the universal struggle of self-determination in a suffocating provincial context.
