A play by Giuseppe Tomei, starring Gemma Maria la Cecilia, with set design by Antonello Santarelli.

Synopsis: “Confessions of a Hungry Woman” is a theatrical monologue that explores, in a semi-serious and ironic way, the complex dynamics surrounding food and eating, addressing their psychological, cultural, and social implications. On stage, a single actress brings to life a character who, through a series of reflections and moments of intimacy with the audience, lays bare her contradictions regarding food: pleasure, guilt, desire, and self-control. Food becomes a lens through which to observe ourselves and the society in which we live, where every bite is laden with meaning. Through a combination of irony, moments of raw honesty, and sincere storytelling, the protagonist confronts her own relationship with food, external pressures, and the daily challenges surrounding the body, body image, and self-esteem. The performance oscillates between laughter and deep reflection, offering the audience a mirror of their own eating habits and the meanings we attribute to food.

Director’s Notes: The set design is minimalist, deliberately sparse, to focus on the intensity of the performance and the interaction with the audience. The monologue is enriched by brief pauses, improvisations, and moments when the protagonist addresses the audience directly, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and engagement. The language is conversational and often shifts between lighthearted and more dramatic tones, keeping the audience in a state of constant surprise.
