Stai Zitta - Antonella Questa, Valentina Melis, Teresa Cinque

Murgia writes: "The attempts to silence a woman that have occurred in the Italian media in recent years are numerous ... the practice of 'Shut up' is not only rude but especially sexist because it is unilateral... What is behind this phrase? ... Why does everyone who hears it think it's a normal reaction in a dialogue with women?"

Questa, Melis, Cinque, and Dalla Via have always had some difficulty staying silent, as evidenced by their many shows, videos, and books in recent years that tackle social and feminist themes with irony and intelligence. It was inevitable that they would eventually come together to create a comedic and irreverent show about how gender discrimination often stems from language. The "phrases we no longer want to hear" found in the book provide an opportunity to narrate contemporary society through a series of characters and surreal situations. From mansplaining to the indiscriminate use of first names for women, to the celebration of the "mother and wife of" figure, Questa, Melis, and Cinque, under the skillful direction of Dalla Via, will draw you into the fight against gender stereotypes, effectively overturning, with this show, the notion that "women are the worst enemies of women"!
