Border stories at the centre of history

Drama - suitable for adults , children , families
[ Fondazione Trentina Alcide De Gasperi]

Show by and with Alice Conti

Text by Chiara Zingariello

Alice Conti, actress, performer, singer, takes us on a journey into the C.I.E., the Centres for Identification and Expulsion for foreigners, where people - half a million in Italy - may be interned for up to 18 months.

The show, a monologue-interview with several characters, whom the author really met - the Nurse, the Guarantor, the Guest - wants to throw an anthropological gaze on us, on our society and on the way we build the image and identity of others, foreigners, migrants, exiles.

The event also proposes a parallel offer for children: they will explore adults’ borders through their own eyes and sensitivity.

Through workshops, tales and activities, they will achieve – step by step - a great collective artwork.

The events “The children’s August” are meant for children over 6 years of age and at the same time they allow adults to take part in the scheduled events.
