Elettra 1944 brings to Galatina a story of family conflicts against the backdrop of occupied Rome in the winter of 1944. With the Nazis still in the city and the Allies at the gates, a family must confront its troubling past, forcing each member to make difficult and irreversible choices. The drama intertwines historical facts and theatrical narrative, transforming civil war into domestic conflict. The walls of an apartment become both refuge and trap, where vengeance, justice, silence, and memory take on decisive weight. The performance alternates between tense dialogues and sudden fractures, guiding the audience through moments where the private and the collective overlap and the historical dimension invades everyday life.
