I Maltagliati / A woman. A radio. A pasta dish und first of all singing

During a morning she relives her life through songs. The performance is built around a series of powerful, Italian folk songs and other songs that uniquely communicates ordinary human feelings, desires and dreams. The songs are the voice of ordinary people and cover all aspects of everyday life: working, loving, struggling, being born and dying. The story takes place in two different spaces: the physical space, the kitchen, where the woman makes pasta only in the company of a radio, and a space of memories, where we see the woman’s life in flashbacks, open to the viewer’s own interpretation.
“I Maltagliati” is Sandra’s solo performance inspired by the poems of Beatrice Bugelli, an illiterate shepherdess, born in Tuscany in the 1800. Spectators will immerge in a traditional Italian kitchen, engulfed by the scents of the tomato sauce on the stove, guided by a voice on the radio and Sandra’s powerful singing.
