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