A girl’s story is one of the many astounding books by Annie Ernaux, one of the most respected figures in French culture and winner of the 2022 Nobel prize in Literature. Her books are a reinvention of the methods and scope of autobiography, transforming the story of her life into a form of social, political and existential study.

Teatro Grassi
Every single time, while remaining true to herself and her projet de vie, Ernaux manages to offer readers suspense, creating the tension that cracks the existence of each and every one of us. Her books patiently dig into events. Her digging is neither psychological nor sentimental; it is crystal clear and lovingly tough.
The girl from 1958, from 1959, from 1960. In other years, in other beds, with other turns of the screw, we have been that girl. With other songs, but always with a song in our heads, with other books, with another best friend. We recall her, reliving her as we read this author, and with this reading, and a selection of songs, we share, with the audience, the pure and profound pleasure of reading.
Daria Deflorian, Monica Demuru and Monica Piseddu worked together for the first time as actors in Alcesti by Massimiliano Civica (2014).
Duration: 1 hour without intermission
