My hunger - almost a biography

A theatrical piece freely inspired by Amèlie Nothomb’s novel, the story of a girl hungry for food and existence, a ruthless hunger for life, even when that life seems hateful, incomplete, unsatisfactory.

Tragedy and comedy come together, in Annagaia Marchiolo’s hunger, which is the same as all those who have sometimes felt nothing, feckless, unfit. Hunger for an authentic beauty, for the answer to a common malaise, to the fear of seeing their lives slip through their fingers.
