Description
Automatically translated from Italian.
A performance that rediscovers an almost forgotten page of history: June 1902 in Milan, when young girls just a few years old, employed under exploitative conditions in fashion factories, went on strike for five days, halting the industry. Directed by Enrico Messina, the show tells this revolt through two Piccioni, contemporary observers who watch the protest with an ironic and philosophical gaze. The performance reflects on the courage of girls aged six to thirteen, their fight for rights, and the weight of their voices in the civil battles that transformed collective awareness about female and child labor.
Original text in Italian
Uno spettacolo che riscopre una pagina di storia quasi dimenticata: il giugno del 1902 a Milano, quando bambine di pochi anni, impiegate in condizioni di sfruttamento nelle fabbriche di moda, scioperarono per cinque giorni fermando l'industria. La regia di Enrico Messina racconta questa rivolta attraverso due piccioni, osservatori contemporanei che guardano la protesta con sguardo ironico e filosofico. Lo spettacolo riflette sul coraggio di bambine fra i sei e i tredici anni, sulla loro battaglia per i diritti, e sul peso delle loro voci nelle battaglie civili che hanno trasformato la consapevolezza collettiva sul lavoro femminile e infantile.
