THE SHOW
In Italy, the average number of streets named after women ranges from 3 percent to 5 percent and are predominantly Madonnas and Saints.

INVISIBLES - Stories of women who have defied millenarian prejudices
edited by Archwoman's Association aps, introduced by journalist Barbara Rachetti
A series of appointments linked by the thin red thread of cultural violence, a devious violence, perhaps among the worst of those exercised against women and which is at the root of the other, more visible manifestations of mistreatment. A violence that consists in not naming them, in not recounting the achievements they have made for the community, in different spheres: from the arts to science, from literature to sports, economics, law, but also in everyday life.

THE SHOW
An evening that combines the reading of excerpts from famous literary works with historical-artistic iconographic paths inspired by them or that were a source of inspiration for them.
Three women. Three extraordinary figures of history and literature. The Nun of Monza, made famous by Manzoni; Emma Bovary, born of Flaubert's imagination; and Joan of Arc, a character very dear to art and literature. Three restless, unresolved, complex figures with difficult and extreme life choices. A tribute to women fighting for their freedom and their rights and desires.

Women's lives, individual and collective stories intertwine. The abuse of power and silences become dance, voice and memory.

THE SHOW
A narrative that, like the relationships themselves, takes an unexpected journey: you start with something that may recall, resemble or even clash with stand up comedy, you go through the narrative and then I don't know.
Much Pain for Nothing is a tale of pain crossed, to be forgiven and even thanked because it is also thanks to him that we can look with a tender and amused smile at what we have been and what we are, and all this is nothing.
After the Sunday, Nov. 23, repeat performance, actress Luisa Borini will dialogue with Dr.ssa Federica Citterio - Psychologist and EMDR Therapist - on the topic of emotional dependence.
