The authoritarian mother-in-law, the exhausted mother, the envious colleague, the overly devoted woman: who doesn't know at least one of them? Elisa Maria Bottiglieri (Acqua, sapone e gin tonic. Racconti di donne monstrose che vivere dentro di noi, written with Marianna Folli, De Agostini) starts with a theatrical performance and an Instagram page to transform every female type into a short story. Claudia, Gianna, Stella, and Cristina compose a distorting yet realistic mirror, in which we recognize acquaintances and, sometimes, ourselves. With a light and ironic tone, she observes the manias, fragilities, and contradictions of the present without judging or dramatizing. A meeting to laugh at ourselves, with the warning that men can also listen without serious side effects. With her, Cristina Clerico.
