The official description

La Pietra Parla

LA MAMMA MORTA

Under-35 artist residency, public showing performance

By Michele D'Elia

With Mirko Ameglio, Tiziana Colella, Serena Corrado, Michele D'Elia, Francesca Murri, Paola Zampieri

Costumes Paola Fois

Under-35 contemporary theater

In the presence of a corpse, everyday life is suspended. Madness takes over. Surreal and grotesque characters are subjects of their own fate, moving by inertia, without vigor, on the outskirts of a city that rots like their lives.

Where it takes place: Centrale Preneste Teatro

The theater is at Via Alberto da Giussano 58 and is part of the cultural fabric of eastern Rome, between Pigneto and the Prenestina. It's run by the social cooperative Ruotalibera, active since 1977. Its website also brings together Centro Eufemia and an area for workshops and training, alongside the evening program.

This evening is an example of young contemporary theater: the presentation speaks of an artist residency and a performance showing the work to the public. If you're looking for other dates at the same venue, see the page on Moby Dick by Roberto Negri, while the area is described in Pigneto, what to see.
