A Dark line Upstairs
by Matilde Vigna

8  - 12 July 2025, 7.30 pm 

Performance in Italian on Sat, 12 July, 2.30 pm

Two stories are intertwined: a flood in rural Italy in 1951 and a young woman dealing with the umpteenth move in 2021. What does it mean to lose something.? When water suddenly floods your house - and you have to run without being able to chose what to take with you - or when you chose to leave and take everything with you, just because you can - is it the same? What does re-building your life means, in 1951 or in 2021?

​

The 1951 flood in Italy was the first natural disaster with a national TV coverage - just after the end of WWII. Many Italian people will remember that, but every audience has its own "flood" - a literal one, being natural catastrophes more and more common nowadays, or a metaphorical one.
