The project of an educational nature focuses on the issue of mothers, and in the prison itself it will include some inmates as well as mothers from the educational, administrative and medical sectors and prison police, who will be called upon to use the language of theater and video, in order to investigate, collect and recreate, inside and outside the prison, emotional, visual and narrative fragments. Moreover, each of them will contribute to the creation of an innovative and unedited plot. The aim of the project is to shed light on the condition of isolated mothers, through a research activity and a theatrical laboratory, which will lead to the creation of a collection of stories and testimonies to be combined into an audiovisual artwork, created by Mattia Epifani of. Muud movie, and by the aforementioned Tarantino and Patty.

“So the 8th of March is not just a series of speaking conferences – as President Capone said – that is why the Futura Call was born, and because we wanted to support all those beautiful cultural and social realities, with projects that are unusual and useful, and that, however, do not provide for ticketing and therefore risk closure In a drawer. The response was nothing short of incredible and all but assured, the beautiful looking and going to the bottom, making dialogue and confrontation its measure and richness. MA’ is definitely one of them. Mother and prison are definitely an oxymoron and for that reason I really appreciate the commitment of so many “From associations so that mothers with young children can exclude alternative measures to imprisonment. On the other hand, the law says so. Maybe we need more courage and more structures.”
