Description
Automatically translated from Italian.
Eight decades since the birth of the Italian Republic and women's suffrage: a pivotal moment in our democratic history. On June 2, 1946, Italian women fully entered the country's political life, gaining civil rights and equality with men. In Castellaneta, at Villa De Gasperi, this anniversary is celebrated through theater and spoken word. Two performers bring to life testimonies, diary entries, and reflections that trace the courage of the women who fought for this decisive recognition. A performance that reminds us how hard-won rights remain essential values to protect today.
Original text in Italian
Otto decenni dalla nascita della Repubblica italiana e dal voto alle donne: un momento cruciale della nostra storia democratica. Il 2 giugno 1946 le donne italiane raggiunsero pienamente la vita politica del Paese, conquistando i diritti civili e l'uguaglianza con gli uomini. A Castellaneta, in Villa De Gasperi, questo anniversario viene celebrato attraverso il teatro e la parola. Due interpreti riportano in scena testimonianze, pagine di diari e riflessioni che ripercorrono il coraggio delle donne che lottarono per questo riconoscimento decisivo. Uno spettacolo che ricorda come i diritti faticosamente conquistati rimangono oggi valori imprescindibili da proteggere.
