La Mentale

A hybrid stage production that explores the concepts of belonging, transmission, and solidarity.

“La Mentale” refers to a slang term used in the neighborhoods to describe inner strength, resilience, and the ability to face challenges with dignity. Through a blend of physical theater, video, and sound design, this performance reveals the codes, values, and collective memory of a culture where resourcefulness, loyalty, and human connections are paramount. By deconstructing the stereotypes often associated with outlying neighborhoods, *La Mentale* offers a perspective that is both sensitive and powerful on what defines community today, on the invisible rituals that shape social relationships, and on the richness of a constantly evolving cultural identity.
