At the Atrium of the Teatro Pirandello in Agrigento, L'Esclusa is staged, a performance that intertwines theatre, literature, music and dance, comparing two female figures marked by prejudice and exclusion: Marta Ajala, protagonist of the novel of the same name by Luigi Pirandello, and Esmeralda, the young gypsy girl of Victor Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris. Two stories distant in time meet ideally in Sicily, where the weight of social conventions, the judgment of others and the defence of appearances run through Pirandello's narrative universe. Spoken words, singing and choreographies guide the audience through prejudice, dignity and freedom. The event is organised by the Pro Loco of Agrigento as part of the Naturalmente Agrigento project, within the Slow & Green Festival programme.
