Giuliana Musso, one of the most interesting voices on the contemporary documentary theatre scene, brings to the stage of the Teatro Grassi the disturbing and necessary theme of the concealment of violence within the family. «Dentro – explains Musso, winner of the 2017 Hystrio Award for playwriting and the ANCT 2021 Award – is the staging of my encounter with a woman and her secret story. The story of a truth enclosed within bodies that struggles to emerge. An experience that is difficult to listen to. A mother who discovers the worst of truths. A daughter who hates her mother. A father who is innocent until proven otherwise. And an audience of therapists, consultants, educators, doctors, social workers and lawyers who do not want to know the truth.»
«On stage – continues the playwright and director, who also performs in this play alongside Maria Ariis – I treat my character as though it were myself. I have chosen this method for the dramatic treatment of a theme that is so hard to deal with. The central matter is not the suffering of the victim, but rather how we relate to this type of situation when we encounter it.»
