A writer who clearly looks to theatre, Édouard Louis has become a logical step towards a form of performance writing that is increasingly focused on literature; after years of staging their own words and experiences, Deflorian and Tagliarini have chosen to embrace the work of another artist. On stage, Francesco Alberici, 2021 UBU Award winner for Best Actor Under 35.

Teatro Grassi
1968 was driven by a call for the death of the fathers, or so it was said. Forty years later, a 26-year-old writer seeks out his father’s killers and finds them among the ranks of the dominant, but his main aim is to redirect the focus of literature onto the lives of those of whom no-one wants to hear any longer, the exposed lives of those whose protection was stripped away by power. Seeking and finding them in a place he is unaware of even inhabiting, in the depths of a calling that is immediately dispossessed by the strict rules of a social condition that has always also represented an ideology, an aspect of domination.
A writer who clearly looks to theatre, Édouard Louis has become a logical step towards a form of performance writing that is increasingly focused on literature; after years of staging their own words and experiences - distilled through the long process of rehearsals - Daria Deflorian and Antonio Tagliarini have chosen to embrace the work of another artist with whom they share certain fundamental similarities. First and foremost, obviously, the relationship between fact and fiction. This also represents another stage in the study of the ties between a figure and its background, between singular and collective experience.
On stage, Francesco Alberici, winner, for Chi ha ucciso mio padre, of the 2021 UBU Award for Best Actor or Performer Under 35 and previously at the Piccolo for the 2023/24 season with Bidibibodibiboo.
Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes without intermission
