Anna Piscopo Brings 'C'è la rivoluzione. Cosa mi metto?' to Rome's Teatro Anfitrione

other · 2026-10-17

Anna Piscopo is back in the spotlight, both directing and performing in C'è la rivoluzione. Cosa mi metto?, which debuts at Teatro Anfitrione in Rome following Mangia. Dressed in a black bodysuit and heels, she captivates the audience with anecdotes and cultural insights, delving into a militant's dilemma about attire for a revolutionary occasion. Co-authored with Herbert Simone Paragnani, the narrative includes characters from her working-class background in Bari, such as her mother and former partner Pietro. The lead character, who identifies as a "bad feminist," grapples with her aspirations and societal norms. The piece critiques online activism and feminism's disconnect from neoliberal challenges, ending with the poignant question: "Se non sei instagrammabile, a chi vendiamo la tua bugia?" The crowd responds with lively applause.
