Moderatrice: Maddalena Giovannelli.

This work is about the theme of memory, focusing on the stories and the lives of the elderly living in the S. Giobbe healthcare facility in Venice.

A mother –a woman who emigrated to Greece from Albania– together with her husband and children. The first part of Banushi’s trilogy, staged in an Athenian apartment during the lockdown, now recreated specifically for the Biennale.

This new work draws on the imaginative and baroque universe of the Neapolitan writer Giambattista Basile, whose pièces Emma Dante has previously brought to the stage.

The final chapter of the trilogy by Mario Banushi, in which the neon sign of a restaurant in a suburb of Tirana (or Athens, in this staging) casts light on the story of a family.
