In 2016, Turinese author Mariapia Bonanate teamed up with the DAF company to present her book I bambini della notte: since then they began to consider a collaboration for a theatre staging of the novel.
The project is a result of the work carried out with young immigrants hosted at the Ahmed centre in Messina: a course based on the encounter with foreigners and on theatre, which took place among the docks of the harbour. An area – that of the city of the Stretto – crossed by thousands of immigrants coming from Libia in the past two years. At the core of the matter are the relations between Western World and Africa, especially following the war events that cause a shift of the flux towards Europe, and the involvement of young “soldier-boys” in internal conflicts.
