THE ANGEL OF THE HEARTH

The one who captivated the audience at the Archipelago with her raw, visceral poetry in Misericordia returns to the Archipelago with a family story weighed down by the burden of traditions. Submissive to her husband's wrath, the mother tries to hold on, until the day everything changes. Yet, even after her death, no one seems to believe it. Every morning, she returns, like the angel of the hearth, to resume her endless routine: cleaning, preparing meals, watching over her family. Every evening, she dies again. Emma Dante transforms the stage into a ritualized space, where raw realism intertwines with fable. With striking visual and emotional power, she imbues ordinary gestures with relentless symbolism, constantly oscillating between laughter and tears, to reveal the buried violence at the heart of everyday life.
