“Nobody ever told me or my brother anything about my aunt’s story. What we knew was that my father had three sisters and that now we have two aunts and that therefore one of the three was no longer alive, Daniela.

This is my aunt’s story as I learned it from my dad.

It’s the story of a man who wants to save his sister from death but fails.

Almost everything is true, some bits are made up.”

Between reality and fiction, the show immerses itself in the author’s family history, bringing to the stage a silent bond and a memory removed. With delicacy and depth, Giulia Scotti chooses to tell this story through illustration and comic strip: a flow of vignettes – drawn by herself – that follow one another, project themselves and show themselves as fragments of memory and imagination.

The stage thus becomes a visual and narrative space where the plausible becomes surreal, the gaze is deformed, time expands. The father’s story to his daughter transforms, page after page, into a new narrative.
