Flyover Country

On Thursday, December 10 at 9:00 p.m., the show "Flyover Country" will take place at the Teatro Comunale Dino Buzzati.

Flyover Country is a theatrical crossing of deep America and the forgotten territories of the Rust Belt. Areas nicknamed by the inhabitants of Atlantic and Californian metropolises as flyover states: places not to go. Places to fly over, to look at from above for the duration of a coast-to-coast flight. In the show, three performers give voice to a multitude of characters, evoking a story inspired by real events: the attacks on electrical infrastructure carried out by far-right accelerationist movements.

The show draws inspiration from Hillbilly Elegy by J.D. Vance (now the American Vice President and a staunch supporter of Donald Trump) to critically recount white, marginalized, armed, and angry America. An America that has internalized and spread the economic system that today abandons it.

Flyover Country looks to the sky above America, to its broken promises, and questions what our lands to fly over are, from this side of the ocean. The lands left behind, defeated, angry.
