SPAZIO DENTRO. STORIA DI UN CORTILE (SPACE INSIDE. STORY OF A COURTYARD)
Curated by Marta Marchetti and Arianna Punzi
Directed by Simonetta De Nichilo
Performed by students from the Faculty of Arts and Humanities
Sapienza University, Rome
In Rome, in the Rebibbia district, there is a courtyard known as “the walking space.” It lies between two tall red-brick buildings where women deprived of personal freedom live. Counting the steps to get there, crossing both real and metaphorical thresholds, sparks a surprising journey where the story to be told is never just one.
The performance originated from a theater workshop conducted inside Rebibbia prison with a group of female inmates. It was created as part of the Third Mission projects “Promoting the Well-being of Women in Prison. The Space of Punishment, the Punishment of Space” and “For a Necessary Theater. University, Prison, and School: An Inclusive Model for Public Engagement and Integrated Education Through Theater.”
