Armande sono io!

On stage, Carla Lonzi’s feminist thought comes to life through the relationship between the 17th-century movement of the Précieuses and the works of Molière.

Armande sono io! is the first creation in Ateliersi’s diptych dedicated to Carla Lonzi. The performance takes shape from her final research on the movement of the Précieuses — 17th-century women whose choice of an original language to affirm their eroticism and autonomy of judgment closely mirrors the author’s feminist vision.

An actress and two writers share the stage, intertwining the history, desires, and conflicts of one woman’s life with the construction of feminism itself. On stage, the personal becomes political: individual experience resonates with that of many other women and becomes a reflection of society as a whole.

The original dramaturgy restores the depth of Lonzi’s research, exploring the value of relationships, collective experience, and women’s culture as forces for transformation. Music, costumes, and scenic composition complete a work that transforms thought and lived experience into an intense and contemporary theatrical event.
