Theatrical performance

Since ancient times up to nowadays, the tragedy of sea’s dead people comes to touch us, even more than survivors (“dal fondo i morti vengono a toccarci anche più degli scampati e ci indicano il nostro fare e non fare”).
Medea’s children have been turned into “damned rocks” (“scogli dannati”) and they still continue complaining . We are frightened of these voices, because they keep on asking us some questions, to which we are still not able to answer.

On the stage, a system of six sounding-boards, iron rusted sheets draws the inner landscapes of the woman in a dialogue with the outer fears of the mankind.
