Dentro (Inside)

A True Story, If You Think So

A mother discovers the worst of truths. A father innocent until proven guilty. Waves of doctors, social workers and other “helpers” who don’t really want to know, furthering the secret’s concealment. In the U.S. premiere of Dentro, Giuliana Musso, one of Italy’s most interesting voices in contemporary theatre, explores the traumatic effects of silence when abuse occurs at home. Dentro is not documentary theatre but an investigation of a current happening; it’s not a work about violence but one exploring the concealment of truth and lost innocence of children.

Dentro is performed in Italian with English supertitles.
