Elena ArvigoProfessional company

60 minutesPlayground 3
Atomic Tales pays homage to an unforgettable moment in history: 26 April 1986, when the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded in Ukraine. This is not a reconstruction of events, but of emotions – through the eyes and voice of Lyudmila, the wife of a firefighter. The piece explores the deeply human side of the tragedy. Her words are drawn from Voices from Chernobyl by Nobel Laureate Svetlana Alexievich. Performed by Elena Arvigo, one of Italy's most intense stage actresses, the monologue won Italy's top award for solo performance. A hymn to life in the darkest moments.
