The protagonists… the “WeFree” project are residents that have reached the end of their recovery program. The project is represented through music, movies and direct testimony. A true story of todays drug addict, where drugs are experienced and are perceived as the tools for having fun. Narrating on the Piedmontese stage will be Melita, a 26-year-old girl who first came into contact with drugs as a teenager and then suffered with addiction. A dependence she had overcome thanks to the recovery program at San Patrignano.
During the course of the show the life of Melita is told by a slide show of mirrors which are the most important moments of her life, from childhood to her relationships with friends, from the first concerns of her solitude, from self-destruction to her rebirth. With three interpretations by Melita: the witness, the actress and the singer, her story is told. Her testimony is portrayed by videos, images and expressive music, led by the conductor, actor and director Pascal la Delfa.
The show includes an insight into the world of social media and ends with a touching moment of “catharsis” that involves the whole audience. This builds a dialogue with the youth, which you can see more on the website www.WeFree.it. In the words of Claudio Lanteri (President of the Casale Moferrato Rotary Club) – was heavily involved and committed on the creation of this theatre show. “The hard path of rebuilding themselves, regaining the will to live and recovering emotional relationship is deepening and compelling.”
