We feel like sisters in observing things with the same sensitivity,
as if we were looking through the same lens.”
Viola Scaglione
In SISTA resonates the strength of an intimate and universal name: sister. Not a title, but a declaration of belonging, a chosen alliance. A word that vibrates between the two performers, Marta Ciappina and Viola Scaglione, as an affective and symbolic code that shapes the stage.
Between sisters – even when blood does not bind them – it is said that an invisible thread flows, woven from ancient cooperation, from shared shelters, from silences that speak.
It is an ancestral pact, where a gesture becomes a primordial word and memory takes form in the body.
Thus, sisterhood – whether biological or elective – traces a common territory: a fragile and powerful place where one can recognize and choose each other, while together cherishing the secret of a belonging that generates strength, care, and freedom.
