Back Prima Facie by the Finzi Pasca Company, a play by Australian playwright Suzie Miller that tells the story of Tessa, a criminal lawyer who frequently handles cases of sexual violence. A shocking event will lead her to reflect deeply on the concept of justice within a judicial system that is often contradictory.
Prima Facie is a Latin expression that literally translates as ‘at first sight’. In a legal context, it refers to an event considered true on the basis of a first impression.
The play tackles, with intensity and sensitivity, issues that are more urgent today than ever: gender-based violence and consent, highlighting the gap that often separates formal justice from that actually experienced.
At a time when the debate on gender equality, justice and victims’ rights is at the heart of the public agenda, Prima Facie stands out as a necessary work, capable of provoking profound reflection and serving as a call to action to play an active part in bringing about real change.
With exclusive rights for the Italian version, the Compagnia Finzi Pasca presents a production faithful to its unmistakable poetic style, steeped in dreamlike atmospheres and capable of surprising and moving the audience.
