Women Who Were Loved to Death

Synopsis This UK premiere is based on a selection of 16 monologues found in ‘Ferite a morte’ (Wounded to Death) written by the author and TV presenter Serena Dandini, with Maura Misiti (2013) with and original monologue by Margot Antignac (SELCS UG). The stories draw from real events of domestic violence perpetrated all over the world. This multimedia performance presents an ironic yet gripping portrayal of domestic violence. A creative narration of real people’s stories that explores an issue still largely undervalued. Seventeen women from all over the world are brought back to life to tell of their relationship that led to their own death. A background of music and artistic projections accompanies a dance of love and death and amplifies the women’s voices emerging from the monologues. This is a passionate celebration of women who were loved to death but reclaim their soul on stage.
