North American Premiere
Q&A with Eleonora Danco on June 5
This sparklingly imaginative autobiographical story of playwright/director/actress Danco evokes the spirit of Fellini’s 8 ½ and sometimes pulls people of all ages on the street into its fanciful stagings that, even at their lightest, belie a deep poignancy.
North American Premiere
Q&A with Eleonora Danco on June 5
For this sparklingly imaginative autobiographical story in the spirit of Fellini’s 8 ½, playwright, director, and actress Eleonora Danco dons a toga to stage—and agonize over—key moments in her life, presenting them as theatrical tableaux. Shot in her seaside hometown of Terracina, Danco involves the townsfolk through interviews (reminiscent of Pasolini’s Love Meetings) and by encouraging them to participate in the drama: people of all ages sing, dance, and wear masks of their younger selves. However, the most inventive and incisive scenes come from her interactions with her tight-lipped 83-year-old father, which, even at their lightest, belie a deep poignancy.
