Show synopsis:

“We sang on the balconies, cooked focaccia, looked after our families, and worked remotely, but the pandemic made us take a step back on every achievement.”

Donna Sarina goes on stage telling "in her own way", ironic and at times irreverent, how society has changed after Covid and how the situation of women has worsened due to layoffs, undeclared work and the gender gap.

Between a bitter smile and hilarious "daily life sketches," the show is a denunciation of how things didn't go as well as we'd hoped while singing from the balconies during lockdown.

A stand-up comedy that uses a light yet sharp style and traces the contours of a society increasingly incapable of real relationships, which has implemented a collective repression of what happened.

Between the kitchen and the living room, between a malfunctioning PC and a bathroom that needs cleaning, the voice of a woman from the South, who was even excluded from the measures envisaged by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), rises loudly not to express indignation but to take up the battles of previous generations and not give up.

A timely text, set in Messina but capable of being any post-pandemic city, that invites reflection on the importance of interpersonal networks and real-world relationships in an increasingly globalized and virtual world.
