BABY YAR: the performance is inspired by the novel Hiding in the Spotlight by Greg Dawson. Dawson's book tells the real story of his own mother who, as an adolescent, survived the horror of the Shoah thanks to her great musical talent. A white baby grand piano imposes itself on the scene. This essential scenography ceates the balance between dream and documentary: between a dreamlike part close to memory and a harsher one, linked to the facts of history.
Written and directed by Firenza Guidi - Performed by Lisa Savini
