From the Curator

Following the development of protagonist Olga and taking philosophical conceptions of love as its central subject, this play presents a protofeminist view of its contemporary Italian milieu. Notably, much of the play’s central drama is premised in the protagonist’s rape, a plot device the play uses to question societal views of sexual violence, marital hierarchy, and women’s independence. The drama was acclaimed when it first played, winning an accolade from the Italian government.
