Essere o non essere

On Thursday, March 12, at the Teatro Dino Buzzati, the theatrical performance To be or not to be will take place, as part of the "Thursday Young" theater series.

To be or not to be tells four small, simple stories of boys and girls that become powerful examples and emblems of the infinite possibilities each individual contains. At the same time, it narrates how complex it is to be freely oneself in a world that draws a clear line of demarcation between male and female.
Pink and blue. Ball and tutu. Boys' books and girls' books.

These are stories that make us reflect, move, and anger, stories that express through words and images how necessary it is to listen to and respect each person's nature, character, sensitivity, and uniqueness. What are the cultural and social factors that guide education concerning birth sex? Four enormous bellies awaiting a child rejoice, argue, and get excited. They question us and make us smile about how colorful a pregnancy is right from the beginning of expectations. Meanwhile, a drone arrives on stage from another planet to share the idea that possible worlds are multiple and there are many angles from which we can look at the world we inhabit.
Actors and Actresses bring to life images, actions, and words that chase and run after each other. The actors' bodies become a playground: they color, dress up, disguise themselves, and switch places to demonstrate how each of us is an endless series of shades of peculiarities, possibilities, and even contradictions. Not everything can always be reduced to black and white; very often, we cannot and do not want to give up color, colors, and nuances!
