Tradire è forse nella tradizione, ma il tradimento non è di tutto riposo.
Ho dovuto compiere un grande sforzo per tradire i miei amici: in fondo c’era la ricompensa

Jean Genet
Una notte dopo quindici anni di
assenza, Emma B. incontrerà suo figlio. E’ una notte di attesa, ma anche di festa. Savinio immagina la sua protagonista sola in scena, in un monologo allucinato; noi le affianchiamo altri due personaggi i quali insieme a lei danno vita ad una danza dell’attesa e nello stesso tempo si fanno narratori-testimoni di un segreto profondo e impronunciabile: l’incesto compiuto dalla protagonista con suo figlio per sottrarlo ad una ispezione nazista. Ma la condanna dell’incesto resta sulla soglia dell’ambiguità: Emma infatti è madre, ma pare scorgere nel figlio il suo uomo, o ancora meglio il suo complemento, l’essere umano da lei generato and that alone can make sex ever owned, and not linked to the sex-slavery. Disappointed by a daughter because the first female and ordered to move from one host to another (mother, father, husband) seems ready to carry it permanently if that son, who for too long looked for in other women and happiness struggled to "pronounce the word" mother "out of certain meanings."

Our construction explores this world through breast men three actors who play women. The denial of the role of femininity is pronounced by male voices that attempt to reverse its sex, just like the Emma
which also our eyes in vain attempts to redefine the status of the mother. Emma seems to face a bleak reality that does not accept his non-screams, and tries to escape through what he considers his most powerful act means making the world a man, male. The reality of this man and what for her has meant and means (including the statement as sin) seems tenuous at any time and close more like a ghost than a person. Her world seems to be a staged ritual of waiting mother in order to escape from a deadly solitude.

Director's Notes

Ship of Fools welcomes foreign-wrecks, stories of outrages, of humanity repudiated. Anime survivors themselves, nameless characters in a nameless: fragments of lives belonged to some, but perhaps now rejected, as they refuse old objects that no longer recognize and denounce a part of himself. That part is not easy and certainly not show look. Our crazy

aspire to wander in our minds and in our skin, have to put in front of a doubt, a distorted mirror that asks questions and who can not give answers. They themselves live in constant doubt of the reality that is beyond them at times hesitant in believing in themselves: they are surprised to pretend, to play dual roles or feel involuntary. They are alone, yet united by their common loneliness, hold hands, hug each other in a common embrace of evil, but are also the war, hate, love and hope. Are men. There is a language to which they belong and a level of comedy that is steeped in their language is one with the deformation of their bodies. The comedian does not want be a solution but a limen beyond which it would be possible to go and you will cross instead aware of the abyss. Our attention is focused on insanity as a mental state, but on stage ritualization of exile which turns slowly in the ritual of remembrance and despair.
Luigi Imperato, Silvana Pirone

"... it is the Ship of Fools, a strange drunken row boat along the rivers Rhine and Flemish rivers ... Can you believe that, in some major cities, transit sites and markets, the insane were conducted by merchants and sailors in very substantial number, and there abandoned, thus purifying their presence in the city originated. It 'may happen that these sites of "counter-pilgrimage" is confused with the foolish ones where the contrary were conducted as pilgrims. They met as a concern to heal and to exclude, to be contained in the sacred space of a miracle ... " Michel Foucault, History of Madness in the Classical
