The Teatro Bolivar will host the show “Stai Zitta” on Sunday, February 16 at 19.00:XNUMX p.m., inspired by the book of the same name by Michela Murgia. The performance will be directed by Marta Dalla Via and will bring Antonella Questa, Valentina Melis and Lisa Galantini to the stage. Produced by SCARTI Centro di Produzione Teatrale d'Innovazione, LaQ-Prod and Teatro Carcano, with the support of Fondazione Armunia, the show is an example of theater that combines comedy and social issues.
Article Key Points
Themes and Intents
“Stai Zitta” addresses the issue of gender discrimination, paying particular attention to language and its uses. The protagonists ironically explore the sentences reported in Murgia's book, creating a narrative that highlights everyday sexism. The practice of 'Stai Zitta' in the media is described as a sexist and unilateral reaction, thus questioning imposed dialogue dynamics.
The Representation
Through a series of surreal sketches and the narration of characters who embody gender stereotypes, the show engages the audience in reflection. From mansplaining to the reductive use of female first names, to the celebration of the traditional role of mother and wife, the actresses challenge the idea that women are their own enemies. Dalla Via's direction aims to dismantle these stereotypes, promoting gender equality. The performance not only entertains but also stimulates a dialogue on current issues, confirming theater as an effective means of cultural awareness.

The article talks about an interesting show, but I don't understand the main message very well. It seems to want to address gender issues, but the form seems a bit confusing and unclear to me. I hope the audience can understand it.
It's true, I also found it difficult to follow some of the steps. The issue of gender discrimination is important, but perhaps they could have explained it more simply for everyone. It would be helpful to have clarification on certain parts.
