Come gli uccelli
(Birds of a kind)
About this event
Lebanese-Canadian playwright Wajdi Mouawad’s masterpiece comes to the Italian stages with its burning topicality and the power of feelings, directed by Marco Lorenzi. At the centre is the love story between Eitan, of Jewish origin, and Wahida, from an Arab family: a relationship that brings to light forgotten conflicts and legacies, triggering an emotional investigation into cultural identity and origins.
