Teatro Studio Melato
Through the exceptional journeys of three people forced to reinvent themselves, the performance is an invitation to follow an inner path, in which no question is too intimate to be asked. This documentary based conversation drama explores the themes of identity, death and transformation. An American neurologist who suffers a stroke is able to experience from within the damage that this pathology has caused to their own brain. At the age of 37, she completely loses her memory and is forced to totally reinvent herself. A man born with a degenerative disease is the first patient in the world to undergo a complete facial transplantation. Thanks to an experimental operation, he now lives with the face of a dead man 25 years his junior. An experimental filmmaker is obsessed with the mysterious work of the iconic queer photographer Claude Cahun and discovers a radical way to rethink identity, claiming gender neutrality. These three voices are interwoven to create a single conversation that questions the stability of our identities.
