Lunetta Savino will be in Trento to perform at the Teatro Sociale with her show "La Madre" from 29 February to 3 March 2024.
In "The Mother", Zeller investigates with extreme acuity the theme of maternal love and the possible pathological drifts to which it can lead. The departure of her son, now an adult, is experienced by the woman as a real betrayal, as abandonment of the nest, to which is added a decadence of conjugal love in place for some time.
Anna, the mother, is obsessed with a multiple reality, a kind of multiverse of the mind, in which realities split creating an illusion of constant authenticity in all narrative planes.
Anna's world is a place where she no longer recognizes herself, isolated by a familiar ménage that has expelled her. But isn't the responsibility of this loneliness also in having given up on life? Abandoning dreams, hopes and desires solely to devote oneself to one's only male child on whom to pour frustrations, remorse and ideals of love is not a path that dangerously inclines towards despair?
But can you imagine an awakening from Anna's memories? In her mother's mind now clutter dream sequences now hyperrealistic situations that, in the end, do not seem to be a real dream, nor the banal reality of the present, but a hypnotic and cruel vertigo from which awakening is impossible.
