Un dimanche d’été. Le sirocco souffle sans relâche sur Palerme quand Rosa et Clara, en route pour célébrer le mariage d’une amie, se perdent dans la ville et débouchent dans une ruelle étroite : Via Castellana Bandiera. Au même moment, une autre voiture conduite par Samira, dans laquelle est entassée la famille Calafiore, emprunte la même ruelle dans le sens opposé.

Three prostitutes live in the wasteland by the sea, where a village of outcasts has emerged. It is life in a harsh reality of poverty, ignorance, and violence. And the only ray of light in their lives is Arturo, whom they care for together. The young man is a weak-minded child in an adult body. His mother died in childbirth, and the women took him into their care as a newborn. What will the fate of this young man be in an environment he has not chosen and cannot choose because of his disability?

Une femme, un homme, deux cultures et des années qui les séparent : Adriana et Mohamed parviendront-ils à dépasser les préjugés du monde qui les entoure ? Une histoire d’amour sincère au coeur de l’Italie du Sud.

The acclaimed Italian director, Emma Dante, presents a powerful, barbaric and at time frenzied Macbeth with great attention to detail. Staged and filmed in Italy's largest theatre, the Teatro Massimo in Palermo, Sicily, this production captures remarkable performances by the Italian soprano Anna Pirozzi as Lady Macbeth, the renowned Verdi specialist, baritone Roberto Frontali, in one of his signature roles, and the rising star, Croatian bass-baritone Marko Mimica as Banco (Banquo). The conductor, Gabriele Ferro, has opted to use the 1865 Paris version of the score, sung in Italian and without the ballets, for a production that received generous praise in Palermo and on tour.
