Di Grazia continues its research on trance and altered states of consciousness while it mixes with the imaginary passions of “an Italy with an open body”. With the Calabrian actress, singer and musician Roberta Lidia De Stefano, Di Grazia wishes to heal a traumatic wound in history: the mass rapes practiced in the Ciociaria region by the French military forces who came in 1944 to free Italy from the Nazi occupation.
During the staging of Di Grazia there will be the projection of the video

The film is a slow litany that proceeds and transforms the texture of the song for Mama Schiavona, the Lady of Montevergine’s Femminielli. Body and voice become dissonant until hypnotic emphasis is created. The Di Grazia project, in which we see intertwine different stories created to heal various wounds, including that of the lack of a mother, includes the projection of the film which, as in a sort of hypnotic loop, portrays various figures from the history of the Femminielli yesterday, today and tomorrow.
