MY MAMA NOTARIZES & ALSO MAKES RISOTTO

Written & Performed by Filippo Capobianco
Produced by Teatro Pubblico Ligure

Presented in collaboration with Dominio Pubblico, the main Italian Festival for Under 25 year-old artists.

Winner of the FringeMi festival 2024

“Mia mamma fa il notaio, ma anche il risotto” is the first show by the 2023 Poetry Slam world champion Filippo Capobianco. The performance combines the languages ​​of Teatro Canzone (an expressive genre related to theatricality, speech and music, consisting of alternating songs and monologues or, more precisely, sung and acted parts) and performance poetry in a narrative that tells the coming-of-age story of a Generation Z boy in search of his own voice in a world that he will only gradually understand. Moscerino doesn’t know how to talk to his mother and there’s no way his mother, an important and always busy notary, would talk to him. The desire to communicate, in every way and by every means, accompanies him over the years, from story to story. Poetry is the last key to allow mother and Moscerino to finally look each other in the eyes.

Running time: 50 min
