After yesterday's great success in Sassari, Anna Foglietta and Paola Minaccioni, the two famous actresses who star in Remo Binosi's "L'Attesa", directed by Michela Cescon in a production by the Teatro di Dioniso and the Teatro Stabile del Veneto, arrive on stage of the Teatro Massimo in Cagliari and will remain on stage from tonight until April 10 (reruns every day at 20.30, while on Sunday the appointment will be for the afternoon of 19).

The pièce, in the regional premiere, is one of the highlights of the program of the Season of the Great Prose organized by the CeDAC / Multidisciplinary Circuit of Live Entertainment in Sardinia, chaired by Antonio Cabiddu, with the artistic direction of Valeria Ciabattoni.

Already winner of the Agis Golden Ticket as the best Italian novelty in 1994 in the lucky mise en scène signed by Cristina Pezzoli, with Maddalena Crippa and Elisabetta Pozzi who alternated in the roles of the protagonists, "L'Attesa" tells of the strange condition of "enclosure" "imposed on two women, the aristocratic Cornelia and the commoner Rosa, both victims of the charm of a dangerous seducer like Giacomo Casanova, for the entire duration of their pregnancy, in order to hide their scandalous state from the eyes of the world.

It is born between the two creatures, different in education and temperament, but united by the imminent motherhood and the obligation of secrecy, in spite of the class difference and the power relationship between mistress and servant, a sort of momentary solidarity, almost a sisterhood , which does not eliminate barriers but at times teaches to overcome them, in the face of the pain of childbirth but also the paradoxical analogy of their condition, which gives the slander of sin by pushing them to deny an act of love and freedom.

The moral condemnation of society and the judgment of the custodians of (others') virtue weighs heavily on the entire female gender, bearing the fruit of "guilt" or of an illegitimate relationship is the dishonorable sign of lust, even in the "century of enlightenment" and in the Venice of the famous adventurer and poet, libertine philosopher and spy, whose fate is intertwined with that of the two heroines of an apparently surreal story but of surprising modernity, for the issues dealt with as well as for the dramaturgical structure, which insinuates the disturbing theme of the "double" in the dilemma between eros and thanatos.
