A dazzling theatrical fresco, a crossroads of lives, memories, languages, and foreign cultures: the love story between young Eitan and Wahida guides us through the discovery of modern existential contradictions, balancing between the constant and disenchanted present of our molecules and the relentless power that the past and history exert on our emotions. Acclaimed by critics and applauded by audiences across Europe, this play, written by Wajdi Mouawad (director, actor, playwright, and considered one of the most significant contemporary theater authors of recent years), has found its first Italian staging thanks to the direction of Marco Lorenzi.
