L’ANGELO DEL FOCOLARE

Description

One day, within a family, a husband’s habitual violence against his wife turns into femicide. The man kills her by smashing her head in with an iron. The woman lies dead on the floor, but her death isn’t enough: no one believes her.

So the woman, like the angel of the hearth in whose grotesque image she finds herself trapped, will be forced to get up and return to the same routine, cleaning the house, taking care of the housework, preparing meals for her son and husband, caring for her elderly mother-in-law.

Every morning, her family finds her dead and doesn’t believe her. Every evening, his wife dies again, as if in a circle of hell where the punishment never ends. In the dim light of a sleeping house, the angel shakes the edges of her robe and attempts to fly, but she is granted only the intention of flight.

Strobe lights will be used during the performance.
The performance contains explicit language and scenes of violence.
