Nest Napoli Est Teatro 2024 theatre season opens with 'Lampedusa Beach'

Uno show by Lina Prosa directed by Marcello Manzella. On stage Valentina Elia Saturday 3 February at 21 pm and Sunday 4 December at 18 pm.

Synopsis

A boat loaded with seven hundred refugees fleeing Africa sinks in the sea off Lampedusa. In the looming darkness of the night, the seven hundred bodies thrash and struggle in the water. Among these bodies is that of a young woman, Shauba, who manages to cling to her sunglasses that have fallen into the water. For a few moments she manages to stay afloat as if those glasses, her last link to life, were a life preserver. She tries to resist the sea, and unable to stay afloat, she swallows her breath in her stomach for eternity. It is in the relentless infernal descent to the bottom of the Mediterranean that Shauba, letting herself go to her memories, makes her journey to Lampedusa Beach: the underwater part of Lampedusa, the beach where broken dreams are deposited. And on this journey she recounts and relives, one last time, her experience and everything that will lead her to mature, now too late, as a woman.
