Post-feminist happening 'Svelarsi' brings women-only theater to Parma
On March 8, 2024, the Teatro al Parco in Parma will host 'Svelarsi,' an event designed exclusively for women, featuring contributions from various female artists. Led by Silvia Gallerani, this initiative has been further developed with insights from Giulia Aleandri and others, including Smeralda Capizzi and Livia De Luca. The all-female cast of Teatro di Dioniso will present performances that tackle issues such as body image, motherhood, and violence. Following the performance, attendees will have a chance to engage in a discussion, enhancing the communal experience. A similar event occurred earlier on February 13 at Teatro Astra in Turin.
