Theatre play in Italian: Guarda le luci, amore mio

We are a community of desires, not of action.
Ernaux, one of the most authoritative voices in contemporary culture, chose in 2012 to bring to light a space ignored by literature, yet a formidable mirror of social reality: the hypermarket. A diary was born in which he recorded visits to "his" Auchan for a year, noting the contradictions and rituals, but also the unexpected tenderness, of that temple of consumption. From this "free review of observations" conducted between one aisle and another - with the shopping list in hand - in contact with the glittering mountains of goods of large-scale distribution, a narrative reflection comes to life capable of showing us from an unusual angle one of the secret theaters of our collective life.
Director, screenwriter and actress, Michela Cescon is a passionate reader of Ernaux's work. Together with Lorenzo Flabbi, Ernaux's historic translator for L'Orma Editore, he edited the first Italian dramaturgical adaptation of Guarda le luci, amore mio.
The show is performed by Valeria Solarino and Silvia Gallerano, two charismatic personalities, two artists with very different backgrounds and careers, on stage together for the first time to give voice and body to this new journey into everyday life.
