In a small seaside paradise, Maddalena Casto reigns supreme within the walls of Villino Tajani, presiding over a self-sufficient and contradictory all-female microcosm. Between winters in Bari and summers in the family villa, her daughters and granddaughters live under the weight—and legacy—of the system the matriarch has built. But like the parakeets that overrun the coast, memories offer no peace. Like an anthropologist of the private and domestic sphere, Caterina Filograno explores the emotional genealogy of her family—caught between destiny, choices, and the possibility of change. Joining her on stage are Francesca Porrini, Maria Grazia Sughi, Simona Senzacqua, and Petra Valentini.
