“Gli anni” evokes both the personal and generational narrative of Annie Ernaux’s novel and the famous hit song by 883. With this work, what do you want to convey/tell the audience?
I don’t like to think in terms of a “message” that from the performance goes straight to the audience. The communication of a theatrical work passes more through the misunderstandings than through the readability of the content. Misunderstandings reassign to the audience a space of freedom, a place of thought where to recombine the data to bring the work as close as possible to one’s own life. Gli anni tells the story of a life and I like to think that the story touches the lives of the viewers.
