Description
Automatically translated from Italian.
A performance that explores myths and archetypes of fairy tales to tell how historical narratives have legitimized violence against female bodies. The performance, created by Sofia Monsalve and Angelo De Matteis, combines fragmented dramaturgical forms, drawing on literary and criminological influences to critically reflect on these themes. On stage, a reflection aims to dismantle narrative mechanisms rooted in popular culture, addressing the issue of violence from an aware and provocative perspective. A contemporary look at ancient stories and their legacy in the present.
Original text in Italian
Uno spettacolo che indaga i miti e gli archetipi delle fiabe per raccontare come le narrazioni storiche hanno legittimato la violenza contro i corpi femminili. Lo spettacolo, firmato da Sofia Monsalve e Angelo De Matteis, unisce forme drammaturgiche frammentate, ispirandosi a influenze letterarie e criminologiche per riflettere criticamente su questi temi. In scena una riflessione che vuole smontare i meccanismi narrativi radicati nella cultura popolare, affrontando il tema della violenza con una prospettiva consapevole e provocatoria. Uno sguardo contemporaneo su storie antiche e sulla loro eredità nel presente.
