Synopsis: “La cocciutaggine," written by the Argentinian playwright Rafael Spregelburd in 2008 maked its debut in Italy directed by Dante Antonelli. Is set in Spain in 1939 during the Civil War, with a story that unfolds in three acts that narrate the same span of time in three different spaces of the same house: a salon, a bedroom, and a courtyard. Each room in the house carries its own atmosphere, its own time, its own ritual. The obsessive repetition of the same span of time pushes the drama beyond its fragmentation, rediscovering the higher spirit of a tragedy that invokes, at the end of the performance, the absence of judgment on the events that have unfolded on the stage.
