Les jours de mon abandon
A transparent house, of which only the metal frame remains. It's in this intimate yet open space that we witness the inner drama that turns forty-year-old Olga, mother of two, upside down when she learns that Mario, her husband, is leaving her for a young woman. Gaia Saitta's stage adaptation of Elena Ferrante's text shows how this middle-class Italian woman is gradually overwhelmed by a savagery that springs from deep within her. The model wife who conforms to the canons of society becomes violent, vulgar and unpredictable. She confuses day and night, no longer knows if she has slept, forgets the landmarks that anchor us in reality, right down to her children. In this destructive whirlwind, Gaia Saitta goes beyond the clichés of bourgeois family drama for a deconstructed, political approach. Feminist.
