Fabulamundi Playwriting Europe entrusts the Bosnian author Tanja Šljivar, the Italian director Paola Rota and the Italian actress Simonetta Solder to lead a creative writing and improvisation workshop which, moving from Šljivar’s text Come tutte le ragazze libere, will create a real testing site of the dramaturgical score and its performative possibilities.
Aimed at young playwrights, screenwriters, actresses and actors between the ages of 18 and 25, the laboratory will start from the language of Šljivar, steeped in slang and references to the social world of generation Z, to work creatively and together on writing and its possibilities of speaking, also in preparation for the show that will be produced by the three artists next autumn.
Come tutte le ragazze libere
Seven thirteen-year-old girls, seven scenes and seven monologues form the thematic setting for a drama in which the only constant is the girls’ unreliability when it comes to memories and statements. There are pregnancy tests, Skype, Instagram, American pop culture, grandmothers, critical theory, chauvinistic pornography, the patriarchal environment of a small town and abortion.
Come tutte le ragazze libere is a comedy about the need to leave in order to fully realize one’s sexuality, to be able to make decisions about one’s body and one’s life.
The seven girls want to tell us everything in their monologues, except how they actually got pregnant on a school trip.
