The Cannoneer 
by Silvia Manazzone

You probably already know everything about the three Italian Wars of Independence, the Unification of Italy, and Garibaldi.

And of course you already know everything about Peppa, the orphan from Catania, who dropped the skirt, no, not to live naked, but to acquire male attire for the rest of her life. Who went from being despised by society to single-handedly defeating the cavalry of the Borboni and thus saving the lives of her companions.

 

Of course you already know all of it, right?... Right?? YOU DON'T?!...

Then you bloody better come to this show and hear it from the horse’s mouth!!!!

Blending extraordinary historical anecdotes, clowning and audience participation, The Cannoneer asks who gets remembered, who gets forgotten and, ultimately, who gets to write history. 

Written, directed and performed by Silvia Manazzone.
