Theatre Performance - COMPAGNIA TEATRALE CAT (ITALIA)

cat-linea-gialla-2An underground of any city of the "western" world. Lonely migrant women, waiting for the train that will take them home after a long day of work.
Each woman bears the sign of fatigue, the solitude of belonging to any place.
Each woman has a story to tell, a little story of escape, of need, of loneliness, of hope and of her search for identity.
Trains come, stop, people step in and out endlessly in a tunnel that will never change.
In the surreal and flat time of an underground station, migrant women tell their stories with their own dress, their own hair-style, gestures and glances. Sometimes they are able to communicate by touching lightly, looking at each other, sometimes connecting to each other through their bodies and their words.

cat-linea-gialla-1These women, eradicated from their homeland and forced by different needs to exile, carry out their lives along with a dream, a little dream they have held in their heart since childhood. An impossible, simple dream which is never to be given up.
A woman wants to be an acrobat, another one a magician, others would love to play the accordion, to dance or to sing...In this melanchonic and cruel suspended time some of these dreams will become reality. They will reveal their wonder offering us not stereotyped bodies but the thoughts, desires, pleasures of people who were forced to escape.
