Antonio Latella returns to the LAC with his new production, written by Linda Dalisi and inspired by the legendary character of Lady Oscar—the heroine raised as a man at her father’s behest, a symbol of emancipation and freedom—played here by Sonia Bergamasco.

Oscar has seen too much. She left home and everything she believed in to watch, as never before, her city and its people fall apart. This realization prevents her from continuing to be the Oscar who was raised as a boy and introduced to military training by her father, General de Jarjayes, in the service of the monarchy. From that moment on, something breaks: she loses much of her certainty and, above all, her own identity, transforming into an unfinished being.
“It is this incompleteness,” says Latella, “that moves me and takes me to something far away. Something that even today I struggle to remember and therefore to bring back to my heart; just like Oscar, I don’t remember when the change took place within me, when I realized I was incomplete and inadequate, but this inadequacy is a powerful balm for triggering that creative process that I have always tried to cherish and protect.”
