The tragic story of the Morandi Bridge in Genoa, told through a raw performance and a deeply moving account.
On 14 August 2018, in Genoa, the city’s main motorway collapsed. On stage, a body, a modern Hamlet haunted by the ghosts of those who came before him and are no longer here. Nothing remains; after the rubble, not even reconstruction. In this exhausting void, amidst the deafening noise of absence, the performer can only attempt to emerge from the darkness through testimony, whatever form it may take. The young and talented Pietro Giannini, born in 2000, presents a work at anthéa in which personal memories, interviews, reconstructions of events and evocative fragments of a city—Genoa—intertwine. A city submerged by this tragedy, yet capable of facing it with the dignity, resilience and strength typical of the Genoese.
