The project, starting with Hecuba, but not focusing exclusively on her and reworking her myth, extends to the figure of mothers in wartime conflicts and presents itself as a reflection on the senselessness of war, the violence it unleashes, and particularly the violence it inflicts on women's bodies. The performance observes the devastation of war and the loss of children in every war, past and present, from a perspective of reinterpreting the myth between past and present. It focuses on violated motherhood and the cry of pain that rends a mother's soul, giving voice to the figure of a woman reduced to a pile of emotional rubble, but also to her resilient strength. A woman who has personally experienced violence and continues to see, live, and feel violence. A secular ritual on the wars of yesterday and today and the wounds of women. A performance that can sow a seed in spectators, leading them to reflect, to want to transform horror into solidarity and listening to others. A cry that reaches even today, to the wars that man continues to perpetrate.
