actress-author of storytelling and unconventional woman (and happily overweight), Elena Guerrini enacts a formula with self-ironic and unsettling a theme that is very dear: the myth of female dependency and the resulting obsession with thinness of the diets. So did your hero-alter ego Plitz Winnie, Winnie along the lines of Beckett's Happy Days . Surrounded by a sea of \u200b\u200bwomen's magazines, has beside him a large bag from which he pulls out an endless series of objects, all made pink Barbie fetish, glasses, brushes, mirrors, lamps, shoes and jewelry. Objects that give it identity, but that the condition. "It is true that black exhausted, fat and pink heels energy?" He repeats like a mantra, in a tight pink tutu. In a set that mocks the television trash, Elena Guerrini alternates joke invective, the "who likes Rosalina grassottina» Fabio Concato the buckets (and cruel) statistics on the business of beauty, plastic surgery for weight loss-halter. It goes from laughter to emotional, touching the secret keys of every woman. "We are described by the media as champions of nesting," says Elena Guerrini. "Always running from work to the gym, on high heels 12. Following a single model of beauty, we launched in pursuit of absolute perfection. But do we really believe? ". You - the audience having fun - instills doubt, and launched the slogan subversive "Bella whole." Including defects, that make us unique and unrepeatable.
