After the November 22nd and 23rd dates at the Eliseo in Nuoro, the tour of " Anno in casa si può provare emozioni forti " continues at the Teatro delle Saline in Cagliari until Saturday, November 29th at 9:00 PM. Written and directed by Caterina Filograno, the show features Gloria Busti, Francesca Porrini, Simona Senzacqua, Maria Grazia Sughi, and Filograno herself. For the occasion, we interviewed Maria Grazia Sughi, a Florentine actress who brings decades of acting expertise to the stage: from Strehler to new plays, a voice that combines memory and vision.

"Even at Home You Can Find Strong Emotions" works on the body, memory, and interior space. What struck you about this show? What perspective did you find in Caterina Filograno's work?

The brilliance of the author, who is only 35 years old, the courage of Sardegna Teatro, the exceptional vision of Massimo Mancini, who always manages to uncover interesting things. Filograno is an actress, author, and writer, and this is the story of her family. The brilliant thing, beyond the beautiful writing, is that Caterina doesn't limit herself to a realistic tale of a matriarchy: it's much more in-depth, more alienating, more concrete, there's work on the body, and the actresses are all excellent.

You've collaborated with some of the scene's giants. Is there a class you've gained so much experience with that you've never wanted to part with it?

"All of them! Starting with Tino Buazzelli, and the great Sarah Ferrati, whom no one mentions anymore. They didn't even think of dedicating a theater to this great actress who's in every encyclopedia. And then Rina Morelli... there are so many experiences, and they've all been fantastic, very useful for my development as an actress but also as a person."

What are the resources that we are still not exploiting?

The resources are there. Sardinia is full of excellent actors, as Valentino Mannias is currently proving, with whom he performed Oresteia. The translation was by Emilia Agnesa, also very young and excellent. So the young people are there, and they're good.

And what is the challenge?

"Risk, risk, risk. Invest in young people, in works that tell a different story about theater."

What will knock on the doors of the theater and ask to be told?

"Since the world is so restless, I think theater is already telling stories of great relevance. Theater always goes beyond, it doesn't offer solutions, it opens minds, consciences. This is its task, to look at what humanity is like right now. And then: make room for young people. I'm so honored to work with young people, because there's so much to learn from them. Always."
