May 1, 2025 ~ 6 pm
The Italian Cultural Institute of Washington presents “Mia mamma fa il notaio, ma anche il risotto” (My mama notarizes & also makes risotto) by Filippo Capobianco, 2022 National Champion of LIPS and 2023 World Champion of Poetry Slam.
“Mia mamma fa il notaio, ma anche il risotto” combines the languages of performative poetry with song theatre to tell a coming-of-age story that confronts the fears and desires of Generation Z: Moscerino, a boy who cannot communicate with his mother, finds a universe of words in his library, Biblì.
This ironic and elegant performance was chosen in the Under 35 review of the Hystrio Festival 2023 and won the VI edition of FringeMi 2024.
The event is in English and Italian, with subtitles.
Registration required.
